CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />Agenda Item No.: <br />O1/19/10 <br />Council Date: <br />City Clerk <br />Janice Ellis <br />8. <br />0 U25/09 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Move to approve a resolution ordering the regular municipal election for May 8, 2010. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Elections. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Pursuant to Section 16 of the Charter for the City of Paris, an election shall be held on the uniform <br />election date in odd numbered years for the purpose of electing Council Members for Districts 1, 2, 3, <br />and 6. Section 2 of resolution also identifies the location of the polls and reflects a plan to consolidate <br />the polling places for Districts 1 and 2 since both boxes historically have very low turnout and it saves <br />approximately $500 in election expenses. Councilmembers Kear and McCarthy have been consulted <br />and do not have any objections to the plan. The current polling locations are the Red River Valley <br />Fairgrounds and Travis Elementary and the proposed site is St. Paul Baptist Church. The City Clerk has <br />visited Rev. Kenneth Rogers at the church and St. Paul's has agreed to host the polling. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Resolution <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />F-I Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$ <br />❑ Department Report Z Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$ <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'I'D Actual <br />$ <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
