SUMMARY: At the May 21, 2018 Board meeting, Resolution 2018-08 (Exhibit 2-B) was adopted which ordered that an election be conducted on November 6, 2018 on the initiative submitted by Public Water Now titled the Monterey Peninsula Water System Local Ownership and Cost Saving Initiative. Attached as Exhibit 2-A is draft Resolution 2018-11 which revises and supersedes the resolution adopted in May, and is presented for adoption.
Draft Resolution 2018-11 was developed on the recommendation of the Registrar of Voters, in order to bring the previous resolution into conformance with the Registrar’s requirements for form and content. The new resolution includes the language of the measure to be voted on. No other substantive changes to the content of the resolution have been made.
Please note that the Monterey County Elections Department serves as the Elections Official for the November 6, 2018 election. Therefore, all ballot arguments must be submitted directly to the Elections Department; they will not be received by the District as proposed in the May 21, 2018 staff note regarding adoption of Resolution 2018-08.
RECOMMENDATION: The Board should adopt Resolution 2018-11 and direct staff to submit the resolution to the Registrar of Voters.
DISCUSSION: Following adoption of Resolution 2018-08, the document was submitted to the Registrar for review. The Registrar provided the District with a preferred format for a resolution calling an election on a measure, and recommended that the resolution be revised to conform with that format.
