Filing requirements of this chapter that are in any way additional or different from those set forth in Government Code Section 84100, et seq. shall apply only to candidates for elective office seeking election to the City Council, to such candidates' controlled committees, or to committees not controlled by candidates but that are formed or existing primarily to support or oppose a candidate or any measure which is being voted on only in a municipal election in the City of Thousand Oaks.
(b) Times for filing campaign reports. Committees shall file all required campaign statements and semi-annual statements in compliance with the Political Reform Act and this chapter. In addition to the statements required to be filed by the Political Reform Act, any candidate or committee which is required to file pre-election statements in connection with an election for a member of the City Council shall file with the City Clerk an additional pre-election statement not later than the close of public business hours on the Tuesday immediately preceding the election. In order not to overlap with the last reporting period under state law, such additional campaign statements shall cover the period beginning sixteen (16) days before the election and ending ten (10) days prior to the election. Such statements shall be filed with the City Clerk by personal delivery or by guaranteed overnight delivery service.
(c) Reporting of late contributions and late independent expenditures. For the period starting ten (10) days prior to the election, and notwithstanding the One Thousand and no/100ths ($1,000.00) Dollar threshold contained in California Government Code Sections 82036, 82036.5, 84203, and 84204, any late contribution or late independent expenditure of One Hundred and no/100ths ($100.00) Dollars or more in connection with any election for the City Council or any City measure, shall be reported to the City Clerk in the form prescribed by the Fair Political Practices Commission for that purpose within twenty-four (24) hours of the receipt of the contribution or the expenditure in compliance with those state law sections.
(d) A late filing fee consistent with State law may be imposed for all filings required pursuant to this Section. The City Clerk shall deposit any funds received under this subsection into the General Fund of the City.
(e) Duties of City Clerk upon receipt of filing. Upon receipt of any filing required by this chapter, the City Clerk shall make such documents available for review by the public the next business day, and shall cause such documents to be posted on the City's website, if one exists, within three (3) business days.
