Ballot Initiative April, August or November <br />Staff has researched moving the 2010 Bond Election from April to later in the <br />year for the purchase of two fire pumpers, equipment for the new Fire Station <br />and renovations to expand the Police Department into the old Fire Station area at <br />the City Hall Complex. While the Fire Department is in need of the new <br />equipment, moving the election only a few months has little effect. The bond <br />election may be moved to the June, August, or November ballots in 2010. The <br />August or November ballots would be the best choices since there will most likely <br />be other county or state-wide issues on those ballots and the cost for the City to <br />hold the election would be less expensive. Also, those elections require only a <br />4/7 approval for bonds, rather than a 2/3 approval for the June ballot. April is the <br />busiest ballot and therefore, always the least expensive because it is the largest <br />election. The cost of out elections will depend on partnerships to defray costs. <br />The previous years had other participants and the cost was $31,000 for each. <br />Assuming participation in August or November the Board of Elections Staff <br />indicated the minimum cost would $21,000 but could be more. The City Clerk is <br />conducting additional research and may have updated numbers for your meeting. <br /> Cost of Ballot Election: <br />April Election: $0 <br />August Election: $21,000 -$41,000 <br />November Election: $31,000 -$41,000 <br />The only other additional cost for delaying the ballot measure would be additional <br />maintenance and repairs to keep the pumpers operational. <br />Election Date: Submission Date to Board of Elections: <br /> <br />
