Item No. 13 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Janice Ellis, City Clerk <br />SUBJECT: AMEND CONTRACT FOR ELECTION SERVICES <br />DATE: February 5, 2019 <br />BACKGROUND: On January 28, 2019, the City Council called the General Election and <br />authorized a contract for election services with the Lamar County Elections Administrator. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: Since that time, the City Council has called a Special Election on the <br />Question of Designating the Making of Renovations and Other Improvements to the City's Love <br />Civic Center as a Venue Project and Approving an Increase in the Hotel Occupancy Tax. That <br />Election has been called for the same time as the General Election therefore, it is necessary to <br />amend the Election Contract with the County Elections Administrator. <br />BUDGET: The combined estimate for election services related to the General & Special <br />Election is $9,887.75, but that amount will decrease if PISD has an election. The City has <br />$8,000.00 budgeted for elections. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve a Resolution Amending the Contract with the County <br />Elections Administrator to include a Special Election for May 4, 2019. <br />
