.010 Inter-Candidate Transfers (Transfers Between Different Candidates).
.0101 No city candidate or elective city officer, and no committee controlled by a city candidate or elective city officer, shall make any contribution to any other city candidate or elective city officer or to any committee controlled by, supporting or opposing any other city candidate or elective city officer.
.0102 No contribution shall be accepted by any city candidate or elective city officer, or the controlled committee of such candidate or officer, from any other committee controlled by another federal, state, local or city candidate or officeholder.
.0103 This section shall not prohibit a city candidate or elective city officer from making a contribution from his or her own personal funds to his or her own candidacy or to the candidacy of any other candidate for elective city office, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.09.050.
.020 Intra-Candidate Transfers (Transfers Between Committees of the Same Candidate).
.0201 A city candidate or elective city officer may make a one-time-only transfer of funds from his or her controlled committee for an elective federal, state, local or city office (the “transferor committee”) to his or her controlled committee for a different city office (the “transferee committee”), subject to the contribution limits set forth in this chapter. Contributions originally made to the transferor committee shall be transferred to the transferee committee on a “last in-first out” basis. Each transferred contribution, when combined with all other contributions received by the candidate or officeholder, and his or her controlled committee, from that contributor during the election cycle in which the funds are transferred, shall be subject to the contribution limitations of this chapter. Transferred contributions shall be deemed contributions made to the transferee committee in the election cycle in which such contributions are received by the transferee committee. Contributions received by the transferor committee on or after the date the candidate formed a committee to run for City office, may not be transferred to the transferee committee established to run for that City office.
.0202 The term “election cycle,” as used in this section, shall mean the applicable period described in Section 1.09.060.
.0203 Any transfer of funds must be accompanied by a report disclosing the name, address, occupation and employer, and amount of contribution being transferred, for each person whose contributions or a portion thereof are being transferred (the “transfer report”). Said transfer report shall be prepared by the treasurer of the transferor committee, and a copy thereof shall be submitted to the treasurer of the transferee committee at the time such contributions are transferred. A copy of the transfer report shall be filed with the campaign statement required to be filed by such transferee committee under the provisions of the Political Reform Act, which campaign statement covers the period during which the transferred funds were received by the transferee committee. In lieu of a Transfer Report, Schedule A of Form 460 or any successor form thereto, may be filed. (Ord. 5704 § 2 (part); October 19, 1999; Ord. 5858 § 1 (part); May 20, 2003: Ord. 6197 § 7; November 16, 2010.)
.010 A loan shall be considered a contribution from the maker and the guarantor of the loan, and shall be subject to the contribution limitations of this chapter.
.0101 Notwithstanding Sections 1.09.050.040 and 1.09.100, a city candidate shall not personally loan to the candidate's campaign, including the proceeds of a loan obtained by the candidate from a commercial lending institution, an amount, the outstanding balance of which exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). A candidate shall not charge interest on any loan the candidate makes to the candidate's campaign."
.020 The proceeds of a loan made to a city candidate by a commercial lending institution in the regular course of business on the same terms available to members of the public shall not be subject to the contribution limitations of this chapter if the loan is made directly to the candidate. The guarantors of such a loan shall remain subject to the contribution limits of this chapter.
.030 Every loan to a City Candidate or Elective City Officer or his or her controlled committee shall be by written agreement which shall be filed with the campaign statement on which the loan is first reported. In the case of a loan from the City Candidate or Elective City Officer to his or her controlled committee for which the candidate is personally liable, the written agreement shall identify the initial source of the loan (i.e., credit cards, a third party, a commercial lending institution).
.040 Extensions of credit (other than loans pursuant to subsection 1.09.100.020) shall be subject to the contribution limitations of this chapter unless the extension of credit meets the conditions set forth in either subdivisions (b)(1) or (b)(2) of Section 18530.7 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, as that section may, from time to time, be amended.
.050 This section shall apply only to loans and extensions of credit used, or intended for use, for campaign purposes, or which are otherwise connected with the holding of public office. (Ord. 5704 § 2 (part); October 19, 1999; Ord. 5858 § 1 (part); May 20, 2003: Ord. 6197 § 8; November 16, 2010; Ord. 6567 § 1; February 27, 2024.)
Any funds, property, goods or services, other than government funds, received by elective city officers which are used, or intended by the donor or by the recipient to be used, for expenses (including legal expenses) related to holding public office, shall be considered campaign contributions and shall be subject to the limitations of this chapter. Reimbursement for travel expenses related to holding public office shall be excluded from the provisions of this section. (Ord. 5704 § 2 (part); October 19, 1999; Ord. 5858 § 1 (part); May 20, 2003.)
.010 No contribution(s) from any person cumulating to one hundred dollars ($100) or more during any election cycle shall be deposited into a campaign bank account of any city candidate or elective city officer, or his or her controlled committee, unless the disclosure information required by the Political Reform Act, including the name, address, and, if an individual, the occupation and employer of the contributor or, if self-employed, the name of the business under which the individual is self-employed, is on file in the records of the recipient of the contribution. Said disclosure information shall be included in the campaign disclosure statement in which the contribution is reported.
.020 In the event the required disclosure information is not obtained by the end of the current campaign disclosure statement filing period, the contribution shall be returned to the contributor. If the whereabouts of the contributor cannot be ascertained, the contribution shall be deposited in the City General Fund or transferred to a charity that is exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. (Ord. 5858 § 1 (part); May 20, 2003: Ord. 6197 § 9; November 16, 2010.)
The cumulative amount of contributions which exceed one hundred dollars ($100) during an election cycle shall be reported for each contributor who made contributions during the current reporting period. Such cumulative amounts shall be reported on Schedule A of Form 460, or any successor form thereto, as prepared by the Fair Political Practices Commission, if the candidate or controlled committee is required to use such form, or shall be reported on a separate schedule appended to the required campaign statement. The term "election cycle," as used in this section, shall mean the applicable period described in Section 1.09.060 of this chapter. (Ord. 5704 § 2 (part); October 19, 1999; Ord. 5858 § 1 (part); May 20, 2003.)
Upon written notification by the City Clerk that an amendment of a previously filed campaign statement is required, said amendment shall be filed with the City Clerk no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the notification.
.010 Except as set forth in Subsection .020 below, upon written notification by the City Clerk that an amendment of a previously filed campaign statement is required, said amendment shall be filed with the City Clerk no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the notification.
.020 With respect to campaign statements which are required to be filed at least thirty (30) days prior to an election, any amendments to such statements shall be filed with the City Clerk no later than five (5) calendar days following the date of notification by the City Clerk.
(Ord. 5858 § 1 (part); May 20, 2003: Ord. 6197 § 10; November 16, 2010.)
.010 That portion of contributions accepted in excess of the limitations imposed by this chapter shall be returned to the donor within fourteen (14) days of their discovery. A written notification showing the donor’s name, the amount returned, and the date of the return shall be provided to the City Clerk within seventy-two (72) hours after such return.
.020 Monetary and/or non-monetary contributions made by a city candidate or elective city officer to his or her controlled committee may not be returned to that city candidate or elective city officer, with the exception of officeholder expenses that may be reimbursed to the elective city officer pursuant to Section 89511.5 of the Political Reform Act of 1974. (Ord. 5858 § 1 (part); May 20, 2003; Ord. 6197 § 11; November 16, 2010.)
The City Clerk shall mail each city candidate with a copy of the Anaheim Campaign Reform Law, as Amended, at such time as the City Clerk receives the Candidate Intention Statement declaring the city candidate’s intention to seek a city office. (Ord. 6197 § 13; November 16, 2010.)
