COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER

FROM: Pam Voggs, ' Clerk
SUBJECT:
General Municipal Election Expenses of November 3, 1987.
CAD RECOMMENDATION:
Accept report and order filed.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Chapter 2.40 of the Municipal Code entitled "Election Campaign
Regulations ", a detailed report of all election expenses shall be submitted to
the Council for its review as stated below.
"2. Obtaining Additional Help or Services. The City Clerk is
authorized and directed to hire part -time help, contract for services.
and purchase supplies as the City Clerk deems necessary to carry out the
additional duties imposed on the City Clerk's office by.this chapter.
Within seventy -five days after each election, the City Clerk shall
provide the Council with a detailed report of the direct and indirect
labor, materials and other costs incurred by the City Clerk's office in
performing such additional duties."
Therefore, as required, attached is the cost breakdown of the city's
election - related expenses for the November 3, 1987 election.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$30,000 is the 1987/88 budgeted amount to Elections A/C 001 -2026. This is
for all direct and indirect election - related expenditures for the year.
Although the City consolidated its election with the County, additional
cost savings were realized by the City providing some services for less
than the County could provide. A marginal increase in advertising was a
result of new mandates approved in the recently amended campaign
regulations to promote the registration of voters and to notice persons of
possible filing requirements if they contribute independently in excess of
$100.00.
No monies are appropriated for the November 1988 Presidential election.
Some appropriation may be necessary if the Council is desirous of placing
any measure although this should be minimal (approx. $1700 -$2000 per
measure).
