Adopt a resolution ordering, calling, and giving notice of a General Municipal Election to be held <br /> in City of Santa Ana on November 2, 2010 for the election of certain officers; and, requesting the <br /> Board of Supervisors of Orange County to consolidate the General Municipal Election with the <br /> 2010 General Election. <br /> 2. Adopt a resolution establishing a charge for candidates' statements to be submitted to the <br /> electorate in the November 2010 General Municipal Election. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> In order to conduct an election, State law and the City Charter require the City Council to adopt a <br /> resolution calling for a general municipal election. The subject resolution establishes November 2, <br /> 2010 as the date for the election of the Mayor and Members of Wards 2, 4, and 6 of the City <br /> Council. <br /> Additionally, pursuant to Section 10403 of the California Elections Code, the City Council is required <br /> to formally request consolidation of the City's general election with the State's General Election and <br /> 2010 County General Election. The subject resolution fulfills this requirement by requesting that the <br /> Board of Supervisors of Orange County consolidate the general elections of November 2, 2010 and <br /> authorizes the Board of Supervisors to canvass the election returns. <br /> Finally, candidates for Mayor and the City Council may choose to have a candidate's statement sent <br /> to each voter as part of the Voter Information Pamphlet. Candidate statements are produced at the <br /> candidates' option, not mandated, and the election code allows the Council to establish a charge to <br /> be levied against candidates in order to recover the cost of printing, handling and mailing these <br /> statements. The Orange County Registrar of Voters has advised the City that the estimated cost to <br /> the individual candidates for the November 2010 General Election is $1,812.00. The adoption of <br /> the recommended resolution will establish this charge for these services. <br /> 55A-1 <br /> <br />
