The City of Mounds View is not affected by the <br /> redistricting mandate for the following reasons: <br /> 1) According to the proposed legislative boundaries Mounds View <br /> would be encapsulated in one legislative district (52B) rather <br /> than being split as in the past. <br /> 2) Mounds View's City officials are elected at large; there are <br /> no wards. <br /> 3) Mounds View is entirely in School District 621. <br /> 4) Mounds View is entirely in one county district. <br /> At this time, staff researched the City's boundaries to investigate the <br /> possibility of moving towards a one-precinct City rather than four 1 <br /> precincts . The advantages in compilation of boundaries and creation of a <br /> single precinct are as follows: <br /> 1) Reduction in number of election judges by approximately <br /> 25% . <br /> 2) Voters not standing in long lines as the registration <br /> would be alphabetical with the use of many voting booths <br /> and 3 (5?) tabulators for one precinct. <br /> 3) Less expense for printing of forms and the mailing of <br /> notices . <br /> / <br /> .di// -; ,,, <br /> Michele Severson Deputy Clerk <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Adopt Resolution No. 4183 Designating the Bel—Rae Ballroom as the Single Polling Place <br /> for the Presidential Primary Election to be <br /> Conducted April 7, 1992 <br />
