ORDINANCE NUMBER 1630 (CCS)
(city Council Series)
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA MONICA AMENDING ARTICLE XI
OF THE SANTA MONICA MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO CAMPAIGN AND ELECTION REFORM
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 1 of Article XI of the Santa Monica
Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:
SECTION 11200. Title. This Chapter shall be
known as the City of Santa Monica Campaign and
Election Reform Act of 1992.
SECTION 11201.
Findings and purpose.
The
city council of the city of Santa Monica finds and
declares:
(a) Monetary contributions to political
campaigns are a legitimate form of participation in
the American pOlitical process, but the financial
strength of certain individuals or organizations
should
not
permit
them
to
exercise
a
disproportionate or controlling influence on the
election of candidates.
- 1 -
e
e
(b) The rapidly increasing costs of political
campaigns have forced many candidates to raise
larger and larger percentages of money from interest
groups with a specific financial stake in matters
before City governmental bodies. This has caused
the public perception that votes are being
improperly influenced by monetary contributions.
This perception is undermining the credibility and
integrity of the governmental process.
(c) Officeholders are responding to high
campaign costs by raising ever increasing amounts of
money. This fundraising distracts public
officeholders from important public matters and
encourages contributions which may have the
appearance of a corrupting influence.
(d) High campaign costs have the effect of
discouraging citizens from running for public office
since, without access to large campaign
contributors, newcomers to the political process
cannot wage effective campaigns.
(e) By enacting this Chapter, the City
Council seeks: to ensure that individuals and
interest groups in our society have a fair and equal
opportunity to participate in the elective and
governmental processes; to reduce the influence of
large contributors with a specific financial stake
in matters before City governmental bodies; to limit
overall expenditures in campaigns; to reduce the
- 2 -
e
e
excessive fundraising advantage of incumbents and
thus encourage competition for elective office; to
improve the disclosure of contribution sources in
reasonable and effective ways; and to help restore
public trust in governmental and electoral
institutions.

phrase is specifically defined in this Chapter, the

Practices Act, Government Code Sections 82000 et
