On The Agenda: Election Code, Electronic Sign Policy Discussions

The Gaithersburg City Council will hold two policy discussions during Monday evening's 7:30 meeting at City Hall.

An ordinance to amend the city's election code intends to change the definition of a Political Committee and to add a definition of a Slate. It also will possibly include an additional campaign finance report due 14 days after the election.

Four options for the ordinance have been submitted for consideration:

• Option 1 – Amends the definition of a political committee, adds slates and adds a fifth campaign finance report 
• Option 2 – Amends the definition of a political committee and adds a fifth campaign finance report 
• Option 3 – Amends the definition of a political committee so that it is similar to the state definition included in HB 1499 and adds a fifth campaign finance report
• Option 4 – Adds a fifth campaign finance report 

In addition to potential election code changes, the City Council will also hear a policy discussion regarding electronic signage in Gaithersburg. A proposed text amendment could change the requirements for electronic signage in the city.

The full agenda is available on the City of Gaithersburg website.
