General Municipal Election <br />July 7, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />Finally, candidates for Mayor and the City Council may choose to have <br />a candidate's statement sent to each voter as part of the Voter <br />Information Pamphlet. Candidate statements are produced at the <br />candidates' option, not mandated, and the election code allows the <br />Council to establish a charge to be levied against candidates in <br />order to recover the cost of printing, handling and mailing these <br />statements. The Orange County Registrar of Voters has advised the <br />City that the estimated cost to the individual candidates for the <br />November 2008 Election is $2,513. The adoption of the recommended <br />resolution will establish this charge for these services. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The cost to consolidate the General Municipal Election with the 2008 <br />Presidential Election is estimated to be $150,000. Funds for these <br />administrative costs will be available in the 2008-09 Fiscal Year <br />budget in the Clerk of the Council - Other Agency Services Account <br />(Account No. 11-021-6291). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Patricia E.
