Myers, city Attorney Joseph Lawrence, Assistant city Attorney ~~J JIJN 9 1Q9Z ~ CA:RMM:ct443/hpc/pc city Council Meeting 6-9-92 Santa Monica, California ORDINANCE NUMBER l630(CCS) (City Councll Serles) 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 Monlca Munlcipal Code is amended to read as follows: SECTION 11200. Title. Th1S 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 Ci ty of Santa Monica finds and declares: (a) Monetary contributions to polltical campa1gns are a legl.timate form of participation In the American political process, but the financlal strength of certain individuals or organizat1ons should not perml.t t~ to exerC.lse a disproportionate or cc .~ , influence on the election of candidates. ~ - 1 - ~ (b) The rapldly increaslng 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 publl.c perception that votes are being improperly influenced by monetary contrl.butions. This perception is undermining the credibility and integrity of the governmental process. ( c) Officeholders are respondlng to high campalgn costs by ral.sing ever increasing amounts of money. This fundraisl.ng distracts publl.c officeholders from ~mportant public matters and encourages contr1butlons which may have the appearance of a corrupting lnfluence. (d) Hlgh campal.gn costs have the effect of discouraglng citizens from runn1ng 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 indiv~duals and interest groups in our socuaty have a fair and equal opportunity to participate l.n the elective and governmental processes; to reduce the influence of large contributors with a specific financ1al stake in matters before city governmental bodies; to limit overall expenditures l.n campa.1gns; to reduce the - 2 - , excesslve fundraising advantage of incumbents and thus encourage competition for elective office; to improve the disclosure of contribution sources in reasonable and effectlve ways; and to help restore public trust in governmental and electoral lnstitutions.
