AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES SUSPENDING ENFORCEMENT
1/ OF CHAPTER 2 .30 OF THE RANCHO PALOS VERDES
MUNICIPAL CODE, THE CITY'S LOCAL VOLUNTARY
CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURE LIMIT, FOR THE NOVEMBER,
1999 REGULAR MUNICIPAL ELECTION
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS :
Section 1 . In 1997, the City Council adopted a local
voluntary campaign expenditure limit pursuant to the authority
granted by "The Political Reform Act of 1996, " passed by the
voters as Proposition 208 . The local voluntary expenditure limit
ordinance, codified as Chapter 2 .30 of the Rancho Palos Verdes
Municipal Code, offers candidates certain incentives to comply
with the local ceiling, all of which were adopted as part of
Proposition 208 .
Section 2 . The validity of Proposition 208 has been
challenged in federal court. Because some parts of Proposition
208 were found by the trial court to be unconstitutional, the
enforcement of the entire measure has been enjoined pending
appeal and further proceedings . The City Council therefore finds
that the City' s local voluntary expenditure ceiling ordinance is
presently unenforceable because it was adopted pursuant to the
authority of Proposition 208 .
Section 3 . Enforcement of Chapter 2 .30 of the Rancho
Palos Verdes Municipal Code is hereby immediately suspended for
the November, 1999 regular municipal election. At the conclusion
of the currently pending litigation, the City Attorney shall
report to the City Council regarding the outcome of the
litigation and provide further advice as to the status of Rancho
Palos Verdes Municipal Code Section 2 . 30.
990419 R6876-00001 cas 1202260
Section 4 . The City Council finds that this Ordinance
relates to the conduct of an election and, pursuant to California
Elections Code Section 9235, shall take effect immediately upon
its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 1st day of June,
1999.
