@Hogwash - I'm not sure what the constitutional question is, but the obligation could be written into statute. It might be funded by diverting a portion of each CM's salary to a trust account held in reserve until the end of the CM's term. The trust account might also be able to provide loans that must be repaid.

A quick google search shows that they can cost $500k, although it depends on whether the election is for a single ward or citywide.
