SUMMARY: On June 18, 2018, the MPWMD Board approved an agreement with Monterey County Elections Department (MCED) to bill the District for the November 6, 2018 election costs.  At that time, based on historical costs, the District estimated the November 2018 election costs to be at $160,000. 

 

The District has received the actual bill from the MCED and the reimbursement amount is $221,003.63. The actual cost is $61,003.63 higher than what was presented to the Board by staff in June 2018.  The November 2018 elections included directors from Division 1 and 2, and also a District-wide election for Measure J.  Staff is requesting authorization from the Board for increased reimbursement for the election costs.  The funding for this additional cost will come from the District Reserve Fund.

 

RECOMMENDATION: District staff recommends that the Board authorize additional spending for the 2018 election costs.
