Subject: Campaign Statement Notification - Committee to Restore Saratoga
Dear Trish,
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) requires all open campaign committees formed to support /oppose local
candidates or local measures to file semi - annual campaign disclosures. Per City records, the Committee to Restore
Saratoga is still open. Consequently, I am writing to inform you that the campaign disclosure for the period covering July
1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 is due to the City Clerk's Office by January 31, 2012. Late submittals may be subject to a
fine of $10 per day, starting the day after the filing deadline, until the statement is filed; fines may not exceed the
cumulative amount of reported contributions or expenditures, or $100, whichever is greater.
Campaign disclosure forms are due semi - annually for all open campaign committees, regardless of any activity that may
have taken place during the reporting period. Depending on the amount of activity, you'll need to submit a Form 460 —
Recipient Committee Campaign Statement or a Form 450 — Campaign Statement Short Form. The Form 450 may be used
if the committee:
• Is not controlled by a candidate (Exception: Candidate controlled ballot measure committees may use this form);
• Has not received a contribution which must be itemized (a cumulative amount of $100 or more from a single
source);
• Has not received any other payment of $100 or more (miscellaneous increases to cash);
• Has no outstanding loans made or received; and
• Has no accrued expenses (unpaid bills).
If you need assistance or more information regarding campaign disclosure requirements, please call the FPPC's toll -free
advice line at 1- 866- ASK -FPPC (1- 866- 275 - 3772).
