Subject:

Amend Resolution 2008-56 Updating the Foreign Language Policy

RECOMMENDATION

Approve Resolution 2018-045 Amending Resolution 2008-56 to Update the Foreign Language Policy.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

On June 17, 2008, Resolution No. 2008-56 was approved to adopt regulations pertaining to candidates statement submitted to the voters at an election. The Resolution includes a "Foreign Language Policy" that details the foreign languages that the County of Orange is required to translate candidate's statements.

Pursuant to the Federal Voting Rights Act, the previous language requirement for the City of Brea was Spanish and Chinese. The County has clarified that the current language requirement for candidate's statements in the City of Brea is Spanish, Korean and Tagalog.

The Resolution will be amended to include the amended language information.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

William Gallardo, City Manager
Prepared by: Lillian Harris-Neal, City Clerk
