Staff also recommends updating this fee amount prior to every City <br />Council election based on the most current Redwood City Salary Plan. If adopted, the fee would go into <br />effect on July 1, 2020. <br />Staff discussed the fee recommendation with the City Council's Governance Sub -Committee (Council <br />Member Borgens, Vice Mayor Masur and Mayor Howard) on May 14, 2020, and the Sub -Committee <br />supported the proposed fee amount. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Fees assessed for posting the candidate statement would offset the cost of providing the service of placing <br />candidate statements on the City's website. The total amount generated would depend on how many City <br />Council candidates choose not to comply with the voluntary campaign expenditure limits but wish to still <br />publish a candidate statement, in addition to the statement published in the county voter guide, on the <br />City's election webpage. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA <br />Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Public notification was achieved through a Notice of Public Hearing published in the San Mateo Daily <br />Journal newspaper on May 27, 2020 and June 3, 2020 and on the City's website.
