CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino requesting that the
City of San Bernardino's Primary Election be consolidated with the November 4, 2003
Consolidated Election conducted by the County of San Bernardino.
Background:
The following City offices are up for election in November 2003: Offices of the City Attorney,
City Clerk, and City Treasurer, and Council seats in the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Wards.
In 1992, City Charter Section 10 was amended to change the dates ofthe City's primary election
from March of odd-numbered years to November of odd-numbered years and the general
election dates from May to February. As a result of this change, the City has been able to
consolidate its primary elections with the County's UDEL (Uniform District Election Law)
elections and thereby save considerable expense by not having to conduct stand-alone elections.
Elections Code Section 10403 requires that a resolution requesting consolidation must be filed at
least 88 days prior to the date of the election. The 88th day prior to the November 4,2003
election falls on August 8, 2003.
Nomination papers will be issued by the City Clerk's Office; however, the County Registrar of
Voters Office will designate polling places, issue absentee ballots, conduct the election, tally
votes, and conduct the canvass. The nomination period opens Monday, July 14, 2003, and closes
on Friday, August 8, 2003. Elections Code Section 10225 requires that if an incumbent officer
does not file nomination papers by the 88th day prior to an election, then the nomination period
for that office is extended to the 83Td day before the election.
Financial Impact:
Estimated cost is between $34,000 to $41,000 for the primary election, and we will request
funding in the FY 2003-2004 budget for the primary election. Estimated cost for a run-off
election will depend on whether it is a citywide run-off election or how many wards are involved
in the run-off election.
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution.
