Re: Reimbursement Request Pursuant to Section 10010(f} of the Elections Code
On January 10, 2022 we provided written notice to the City of Diamond Bar
("Diamond Bar") that its then -current at -large election system for electing
candidates to its governing board was in violation of the California Voting Rights
Act of 2001 ("CVRA"). Diamond Bar adopted a resolution consistent with
Elections Code section 10010 to initiate the process of switching to a district
election system as provided by the CVRA. On May 3, 2022, Diamond Bar adopted
a district -based election system and a corresponding map and election sequence.
Pursuant to Section 10010(f) of the Elections Code, we are writing to request
reimbursement of the cost of the work product that led to our initial notice to
Diamond Bar. Section 10010(f)(3) caps the amount of any reimbursement request
to $30,000 (plus an adjustment based on the consumer price index). We have
attached a copy of an invoice from Compass Demographics Inc. for demography
services related to our initial notice. Also attached is a "time and task chart"
summarizing the tasks performed by attorneys at Shenkman & Hughes PC, along
with our regular hourly rate. Although the total costs are higher than the statutory
limit, we are only seeking reimbursement of $30,000, and we are not at this time
seeking the adjustment based on the consumer price index. Please arrange for
payment to be made directly to:
