Item No. 06B <br />Meeting Date: July 8, 2002 <br />Type of Business:CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Givonna Reed, Assistant City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 5801 Authorizing and Pledging Support for <br />Voting Equipment Grant Application <br />Date of Report: July 3, 2002 <br /> <br />As the Council is aware, this year the City will begin a five-year payment plan to <br />purchase five new ballot counters. The Secretary of State’s Office is currently <br />considering applications for matching funds to purchase elections equipment. Originally <br />staff was advised that the City did not qualify for grant funds because the grant could not <br />be used to reimburse cities for funds already committed to purchasing new elections <br />equipment. Staff was later advised that there was a chance that the City might receive <br />some reimbursement funds for equipment already ordered. As a result, an application <br />was submitted to the state for reimbursement of 50% ($7,650) of the purchase price for <br />ballot counters for the City’s three new precincts. <br /> <br />The attached resolution must be submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office July 9, 2002 <br />if the Council wishes the City to be considered for this grant. <br /> <br />If you have questions about this item please call me at 763.717.4008. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Givonna Reed <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
