Should the City Council order a recount of the ballots, it may do so on its own motion or at the request of any contestant. Should the City Council determine that the recount is made at the request of a contestant, the contestant shall deposit with the Finance Officer the required fee(s). If the moneys are not so deposited within five days, the contestant shall forfeit his right to a recount. (Ord. 2506 § 1, 1992; Ord. 892, 1964; prior code § 2.90).
