<br />Heather A. Balser, Deputy City Manager <br />June 28, 2010 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />Mountain States Legal Foundation v. Denver School District No. ],459 F. Supp. 357, 360 (D.Colo. <br />1978). The underlying principle is that public funds entrusted to a public entity belong equally to <br />the proponents and opponents of a ballot measure. Hence, if those funds are used to urge or <br />persuade the voters that only one side has merit, the free speech and petition rights of the other side <br />are abridged. For these reasons, where the funds or facilities of the City are used for public outreach <br />purposes concerning ballot issues, the best practice is to remain neutral and to limit use of City <br />monies strictly in compliance with the limitations of the FCPA. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please contact us. <br />
