Backers of an advisory measure regarding funding of Atherton’s new civic center raised about $6,300 and spent about $6,000 on their campaign, the latest forms filed with the city clerk show.

No forms were filed by opponents of the measure, who said they did not spend any money campaigning.

The measure was approved by about 61 percent of those voting. About 39 percent of registered voters cast ballots.

Donors included: the campaign account of Elizabeth Lewis, $1,367; John Worthing, $2,500; Eric Lane, $1,000; William Schroeder, $500; Sandra Ferrando, $200; James McLaughlin, $250; Diane Fisher, $100; Kim Young, $100 and Sandy Levinson, $99. All are Atherton residents.

When the report was filed on May 23, a total of $5,872 had been spent on stamps, overnight delivery, food, lawn signs, printing and envelopes, and $150 to rent a venue from the town of Atherton.

A final report is due July 31.

Campaigns receiving less than $2,000 in contributions are exempt from filing reports.
