Central San
February 1 , 2017
TO: ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
FROM: ELAINE BOEHME, SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF COST SHARING OF CANDIDATE STATEMENTS
Issue
The Board of Directors has requested that the past practice of requiring that candidates pay
$500 towards the cost of publication of their Statement at the time of filing be reviewed to
determine if changes should be made prior to the 2018 election.
Background Information
Prior to each election, the Board of Directors must reaffirm or modify the District's
regulations regarding the word limit, payment of costs, and payment of a deposit for
Candidate Statements. In 1996, due to prohibitively high costs compared to other agencies,
the Board voted to have the District share in the cost of publication of Candidate
Statements. For the 2016 election, the Board re-adopted regulations requiring that
candidates pay $500 towards the cost of publication of their Statement at the time of filing
their nomination papers, that the balance be paid by the District after the election costs were
determined, and that the Statement be limited to 250 words. The estimated cost for each
Candidate Statement for the 2016 election is $1 ,967. Candidate statements over 250 words
would be double in price.
Below is information regarding other agencies' cost-sharing of candidate statements for the
2016 election.
