§ 1-04 — Deadlines

§ 1-04 Deadlines.

(a) Computation of days. (i) Counting calendar days. Where a number of days is specified as a period from a certain day, the days will be counted as the number of calendar days except for the first day of the counting period. (ii) Where holiday falls within two-day counting period. If the counting period is two days in duration, then Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday must be excluded if it falls on the first or last day of the counting period. (iii) Weekends and holidays. If the scheduled date of a public funds payment, or the deadline for submitting a Certification or for filing a disclosure statement, other than a daily pre-election disclosure statement, falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the next business day becomes the deadline or scheduled payment date. (b) Meeting Board deadlines. (i) Submission in person. Submissions filed in person on weekdays between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the offices of the Board, unless otherwise provided, are deemed submitted upon receipt, subject to review and acceptance. (ii) Submission by electronic means, non-electronic mail or common carrier. (A) Electronic submissions. A submission sent electronically shall be deemed filed when received by the Board, subject to review and acceptance. (B) Non-electronic submissions. (1) With postmark. A submission sent by non-electronic mail or common carrier shall be deemed to have been received, subject to review and acceptance, on the date it was postmarked or date stamped by the carrier. (2) Without postmark. Submissions sent by non-electronic mail in an envelope without a postmark will be presumed to have been sent three days prior to receipt, subject to review and acceptance, unless evidence presented to the Board, such as a post office receipt with a date stamp indicating when the submission was sent, demonstrates otherwise. (iii) Board evaluation of submissions that arrive after the deadline. Submissions of disclosure statement documentation that arrive after 5:00 p.m. on the date of the deadline, even if submitted on or before 11:59 p.m. on such date, may prevent the Board from making a timely determination regarding payment of public funds. The Board shall make such a determination at such time as is practicable. (Added City Record 8/16/2019, eff. 9/15/2019; amended City Record 5/22/2020, eff. 6/21/2020)
