RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with NetFile, Inc., to to extend the term from March 31, 2018 through March, 31, 2021 and increase the payment limit by $170,000 to a new payment limit of $280,000 for on-line filing services for California Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700) and FPPC Campaign Finance Disclosure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The costs of the contract are shared by the Clerk of the Board and the County Clerk-Recorder, Elections Division. The amounts have been budgeted and appropriated for FY 2017-18 and planned for future fiscal years.

BACKGROUND:

Certain elected and appointed County and Special District officials are required to file annual Statements of Economic Interest (SEI) with the Clerk of the Board or with the Elections Division of the Clerk-Recorder's Office. Candidates for elective office and committees supporting or opposing ballot measures are required by FPPC to file Campaign Finance Disclosure Reports (CFD) with the Elections Division of the Clerk-Recorder's Office. These SEI and CFD reports are required to be made public. Services provided by NetFile will permit these types of reports to be submitted electronically, online, and makes them publicly available on-line. In addition, County Ordinance No. 2016-05 requires the CFD to be filed electronically. NetFile provides this capability and makes the information available on-line in a redacted form.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Currently, the Clerk of the Board and the County Clerk-Recorder, Elections Division can only receive and disclose these reports in a paper format. Should the Board not approve the recommendation, the information will remain unavailable on-line.
