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 6, 2001
Consolidated Election conducted by County of San Bernardino.
Background:
The following four city offices are up for election in November 2001: Office of the Mayor, and
Council seats in the First, Second, and Fourth Wards.
In 1992, City Charter Section 10 was amended to change the dates of the 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 6,2001
election falls on August 10, 2001.
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 16,2001, and closes
on Friday, August 10, 200 I. Election 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 83rd day before the election. Since the incumbent Fourth Ward
Council member has indicated he will not run for another term, the nomination period for the
Fourth Ward will close on Wednesday, August 15,2001.
Financial Impact:
Estimated cost is between $45,000 to $50,000 for the primary election and we have requested
funding in the FY 2001-2002 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. If a run-off election is consolidated with the State's primary election in
March, then estimated costs for a citywide run-off election are between $10,000 and $14,000. If
a run-off election is required in one or more wards and not citywide, then the estimated costs
range from $1,400 to $5,000.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.
