A. Any person or entity making independent expenditures which aggregate in excess of twenty-five dollars during any election cycle shall deliver notice in writing of such independent expenditure, as well as the amount of such expenditure, and a detailed description of the use of such independent expenditure. Such notice shall be filed with the city clerk on a form prepared by the city clerk for such purpose. The notice shall specifically state the name of the candidate or candidates whom the independent expenditure is intended to support or oppose and shall also include the information required to be provided in the Campaign Disclosure Statement (Form 465 or any successor form thereto) as provided by the California Fair Political Practices Commission. Each independent expenditure shall require delivery of a new notice. Such notice shall be filed for the same reporting periods and be the same deadlines as are expenditures by candidates pursuant to the California Fair Political Act and by Section 1.30.040(B) of this chapter.

B. Any person or entity making an independent expenditure in excess of twenty-five dollars shall disclose in any political message produced by the expenditure, the full name, address, and phone number of the person or organization, the name of the registered agent, the amount of the expenditure, and the specific statement that the advertisement of material is not authorized by any candidate. Persons or organizations who make independent expenditures for or against a candidate or committee shall indicate clearly on any material published, displayed or broadcast that it was not authorized by a candidate or committee controlled by a candidate. Such disclosure shall be printed in 12-point type or larger in any printed materials, and prominently displayed in any non-printed materials or message.
