SUMMARY: On November 3, 2015, an election is
scheduled for directors in voter divisions 2, 3, 4 and 5. The Monterey County Elections Department
requires that a resolution calling for the November 3 election be adopted by
the Board of Directors and submitted no later than July 1, 2015. The proposed resolution is attached as Exhibit 2-A.
This election year presents an
unusual situation in that elections will be conducted in four voter
divisions. The directors representing
divisions 3, 4 and 5 were elected in 2011 and their four-year terms will expire
in November. The director representing
division 2 was appointed to the Board in October 2014 due to a resignation on
the Board. According to Election Law,
the appointed director serves until the November 3, 2015 election.
The Elections Department has
estimated that the approximate cost to conduct the election will be between
$148,360 and $222,540, depending on the number of entities that consolidate ballot
measures for the November 3 election date.
Staff requests that the Board
authorize the General Manager to enter into a service agreement with the
Elections Department (Exhibit 2-B).
RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Directors adopt the resolution
attached as Exhibit 2-A,
calling for an election in voter divisions 2, 3, 4 and 5 on November 3, 2015. The Board should also authorize the General
Manager to enter into a service agreement with Monterey County Elections to
conduct the election (Exhibit 2-B).
IMPACT
ON STAFF/RESOURCES: An amount necessary to cover the
cost of this District election will be included under the Election Expenses category
in the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget, which is scheduled to be adopted on June
15, 2015.
