(MEMO 12/12/73 ) Reports of Other Officials Request of City Clerk for direction re payment for Candidate Statement of Qualifi - cations , April 9, 1974 general municipal election . — City Attorney Schricker invited Council ' s attention to the City Clerk ' s memorandum concerning two election items , one being a request for an indication of Council ' s desire regarding establishment of a filing fee for candidates , which would entail introduction of an ordinance , and the other being a request for direction by Council concerning requirement for a deposit to offset costs of printing the candidate statement of qualifications . Councilman Norris expressed opposition to imposing a filing fee , but with respect to the second item , felt that the City should try to recover a portion of the cost for printing the statement of qualifications . He suggested a charge of $25 . 00 , with the City absorbing the difference . Mayor Keckley indicated that he believed the total cost of printing the statement for the candidates wishing to have them distributed with the sample ballots should be divided equally among them , He also felt that it would be wise to require a deposit prior to the election , in view of problems in the past in collecting from unsuccessful candidates . Councilman Weymouth felt that a $ 50 deposit should be required , because of the apparent problem in collection . MOTION : Councilman Williams moved , seconded by Councilman Weymouth , that a deposit of $ 50 . 00 be required of any candidate who wishes the statement of qualifications to be included with sample ballots , toward the cost of printing , with the actual cost to be determined at a later date for either an additional charge or refund to the candidate . On the question , Councilman Norris restated his opposition , citing instances where some candidates had indicated to him that they did not have money to pay for the statement . He felt that at the local level there was the opportunity and the duty to allow qualified candidates to run for office without this cost . Councilman Williams felt that a serious candidate must have the support of people who believe in him and therefore should be able to receive help with costs . Motion carried by voice vote .
