RE: General Municipal Election April 9, 2013
Background:
On April 9, 2013, the City of Vernon will be conducting an all mail ballot General Municipal
Election ("election") for the purpose of electing one member of the City Council for the full term
of five years.
This requires a resolution calling the election, and a resolution adopting regulations pertaining to
materials prepared by any candidate for a municipal election.
Historically and procedurally, the City has adopted a new set of regulations relating to candidate
statements for each candidate election, which are election specific. That is, although the contents
of the regulations are the same in each election, the resolution applies only to a single specific
election.
Since the candidate statement resolutions have been election specific, a new candidate statement
resolution must be adopted for the April 9, 2013 election. It is recommended that the candidate
statement guidelines be generalized and not election specific. Furthermore, for translating
purposes an electronic copy is required. For this reason, in addition to the typewritten form
requirement, direction that an electronic copy should also be submitted to the Clerk's
Department when filing candidate statement is suggested.
Additionally, the City Clerk's office requires the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los
Angeles to permit the County Election Department to prepare and furnish to the City the
computer record of the names and addresses of all eligible registered voters in the City, and
regulations regarding candidate statements, so that the City may print labels to be attached to
self -mailer sample ballot pamphlets, and to make available to the City additional election
equipment and assistance according to state law.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the following resolutions be approved for the General Municipal Election to be
held on April 9, 2013:
1. Calling the election,
2. Regulations regarding candidate statements,
3. Engagement of the County of Los Angeles Election Department,
