3 � <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> DATE: May 20, 1996 <br /> TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager <br /> FROM: Connie Kroeplin, City Clerk <br /> ITEM: ELECTION MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING <br /> WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT <br /> Last year was the first combined City/School District election. The City <br /> charged the School District 40% of the election costs for judges wages, <br /> tabulator maintenance agreement, ballots, supplies, and manhours to set up and <br /> take down the voting equipment. The School District was not charged for staff <br /> wages, equipment, postage, etc. There were two School Board, two <br /> • Councilmembers and the Mayor on the ballot. <br /> This year's election is quite different. First, there is not a City election. There <br /> will be a state primary on September 10th and a County, State and Federal (plus <br /> 2 seats on the School Board) on November 5th. This will involve coordination <br /> with the School District and Counties, publications will be needed for candidate <br /> filing and notification of the school election, and posting. City offices will need <br /> to be open an extra hour for filing. In addition, the Counties will need to be <br /> notified after filing closes and information on ballots will need to be coordinated <br /> with the Counties. The Counties will bill a percentage of the ballot to the <br /> School District directly for printing the ballots. <br /> Although there are many other kinds of costs to the City to run these elections, <br /> I suggest simply weighing the extra tasks that doing the school election this year <br /> entails to come up with an equitable amount to charge the School District. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Recommend Council approval of the attached Memorandum of Understanding <br /> which outlines the conduct of the election and specifies an amount of$250.00 <br /> per precinct ($750.00 total) as the School's reimbursement to the City. <br /> • <br />
