candidate filing a statement to pay in advance to the City his or her estimated pro rata share as

estimate, depending on the actual number of candidates filing statements. Accordingly, the
City Clerk is not bound by the estimate and may, on a pro rata basis, bill the candidate for
additional actual expense or refund any excess paid depending on the final actual cost. In the
event of underpayment, the City Clerk may require the candidate to pay the balance of the cost
incurred. In the event of overpayment, the City Clerk shall prorate the excess amount among
the candidates and refund the excess amount paid within 30 days of the election.
