fib <br /> • <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: April 6, 2000 <br /> TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager <br /> FROM: Connie Kroeplin, City Clerk <br /> ITEM: NEW VOTING TABULATORS <br /> History <br /> Last year the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of new voting <br /> tabulators for a countywide optical scan voting system. Under the Hennepin County <br /> Purchasing Agreement, the County has purchased over 500 voting tabulators for each precinct <br /> in Hennepin County and backups. <br /> Current Status <br /> Hennepin County will lease to cities the new voting tabulators (St. Anthony would receive 4) <br /> and cities will turn over to the County the old Optech HIP (4). Because St. Anthony is in <br /> two counties, it is my understanding that we will surrender all four Optech III tabulators and <br /> Hennepin County will code the memory pack for St. Anthony's Ramsey County precinct. <br /> Ramsey County does not anticipate purchasing new voting equipment until at least 2001. <br /> Under the Lease Agreement with Hennepin County, the County will furnish cities with the new <br /> tabulators and cities will pay for the maintenance commencing in January, 2002 at a cost of <br /> $125.00 per machine annually ($500.00). This cost is approximately half of what we are <br /> currently paying. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Approval of Resolution 00-026 relating to leasing election machines by the City from <br /> Hennepin County. <br /> • <br />
