<br /> <br /> <br />STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br />FROM: Heidi Heller, City Clerk <br />DATE: February 19, 2016 <br />RE: Joint Powers Agreement with Ramsey County for New Voting System <br />Acquisition and Operation & Approval of Resolution 2016-2-43 Adopting the Use <br />of a New Voting System <br /> <br /> <br />Ramsey County has been planning for the purchase of a new voting system since 2013, and it has <br />now finally occurred. Little Canada’s share of equipment costs is $21,084 with annual operating <br />costs an additional $2,644.31 (see Appendix C attached). The City has budgeted for this expense <br />in 2016 and will pay for the equipment costs at the time of purchase. <br /> <br />The current voting system has become obsolete and the County is unable to get replacement <br />parts or updates, along with the fact that some of the equipment has been very troublesome to <br />keep operational. <br /> <br />The Ramsey County Board has approved the attached Joint Powers Agreement. City staff <br />recommends approval of the Joint Powers Agreement as presented, along with a resolution <br />formally adopting the use of the new voting system.
