2. The candidate shall be required to pay for the cost of translating the candidate's statement into any foreign language that is not required as specified in Section 2 above, pursuant to Federal and State law, but is requested as an option by the candidate. B. Printing: 1. The candidate shall be required to pay for the cost of printing the candidate's statement in English in the main voter pamphlet. 2. The candidate shall be required to pay for the cost of printing the candidate's statement in a foreign language required in (A) of Section 2 above, in the main voter pamphlet. 3. The candidate shall be required to pay for the cost of printing the candidate's statement in a foreign language requested by the candidate per (B) of Section 2 above, in the main voter pamphlet. 4. The candidate shall be required to pay for the cost of printing the candidate's statement in a foreign language required by (A) of Section 2 above, in the facsimile voter pamphlet. The City Clerk shall estimate the total cost of printing, handling, translating, and mailing the candidates' statements filed pursuant to this section, including costs incurred as a result of complying with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (as amended). The City Clerk shall require each candidate filing a statement to pay in advance to the City a deposit in the amount of 50% of the estimated cost of the candidate's statement prior to his or her statement being included in the voter's pamphlet. The estimate is just an approximation of the actual cost that varies from one election to another election and may be significantly more or less than the estimate, depending on the actual number of candidates filing statements. Accordingly, the City Clerk is not bound by the estimate and will, on a pro rata basis, bill the candidate for additional actual expense, or refund any excess paid, depending on the final actual cost of the candidate's statement. In the event of overpayment, the City Clerk shall prorate the excess amount among the candidates and refund the excess amount paid within 30 days of the election. SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS The City Clerk shall comply with all recommendations and standards set forth by the California Secretary of State regarding occupational designations and other matters relating to elections. SECTION 5. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS That no candidate will be permitted to include additional materials in the sample ballot package. SECTION 6. That the City Clerk shall provide each candidate or the candidate's representative with a copy of this Resolution at the time nomination petitions are issued. SECTION 7. That all previous resolutions establishing Council policy on payment for candidates' statements are repealed.
