City of San Bernardino Candidate Information Guide

E. I am a city council member and I closed my campaign committee in March. May I file the Form 470 for the statement due July 31? No. You may not file the Form 470 if you had an open committee at any time during the calendar year or intend to have one later in the year. You must continue filing the Form 460 as an officeholder for the remainder of the calendar year. The Form 470 may be filed the following calendar year if you do not have, nor intend to have, a committee for that entire calendar year. F. I am in a June election this year and filed a Form 470 for last year because I started raising money in December. Am I required to file a 470 Supplement if I receive contributions totaling more than $2,000 in January? No. The Form 470 Supplement is only required if you file the Form 470 and subsequently raise or spend $2,000 in the same calendar year. Since you filed the Form 470 last year, but did not meet the $2,000 committee qualification threshold until the following calendar year, you are not required to file the Form 470 Supplement. You must file the Form 410 (Statement of Organization) and begin filing the other applicable campaign reports (e.g., Form 460, Form 497).
