Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
City of Blue Lake
DISCUSSION:
On May 26, 2020, the City of Blue Lake City Council passed Resolution No. 1165 for the purpose of electing certain officers. The City of Blue Lake is requesting consolidation with the Presidential General Election to be held on November 3, 2020, pursuant to Election Code, Section 10403, and agrees to reimburse the county for all costs associated with the consolidated election.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Election consolidation will ultimately not impact the General Fund. All funds advanced by the General Fund will be fully reimbursed by the City of Blue Lake.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing community-appropriate levels of service and building interjurisdictional and regional cooperation.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
City of Blue Lake
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your board could choose not to approve the City of Blue Lake election with the Presidential General Election; however, this is not recommended. Not consolidating the election would require the Office of Elections to conduct multiple elections simultaneously, increasing costs to both the county and city.
