A. Prior to spending or contributing the personal funds, the candidate shall provide written notice of the candidate’s intent to spend or contribute more than $5,000 of personal funds to the City Clerk and all opponent candidates. The notice shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail to the last known address of the opponent candidates as shown in the records of the City Clerk and shall specify the amount of personal funds intended to be expended or contributed. The notice shall also provide the date the personal funds shall be deposited into the candidate’s campaign contribution account, as required by CVMC 2.52.070. Separate notice is also required for every separate deposit of personal funds of any amount that is a contribution from a candidate to his or her campaign once the candidate has spent or contributed more than $5,000 in personal funds in connection with the campaign for a single election contest.

B. The required notice shall be given no later than 21 days prior to the election, unless the expenditure or contribution occurs during the 21 days preceding the election, in which case the required notice shall be provided 24 hours prior to deposit into the candidate’s campaign contribution account.
