CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />Agenda Item No.: <br />O1/30/12 <br />Council Date: <br />City Clerk <br />Janice Ellis <br />15. <br />02/13/12 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Move to approve a resolution ordering the regular municipal election for May 12, 2012. <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. <br />Section 2 of the Resolution identifies the location of the polling places and reflects a plan to consolidate <br />the polling places for Districts 1 and 2. In the past, elections for District 1 were conducted at the Red <br />River Valley Fairgrounds and elections for District 2 were conducted at Thomas Justiss Elementary <br />School (still located in District 2, but not in a central location). With our current redistricting, the Red <br />River Valley Fairgrounds is now located in District 2 as opposed to District 1. The County and P.I.S.D. <br />both conduct elections at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds for various elections. <br />This resolution also reflects a plan to consolidate Districts 3 and 6 with a common polling place located <br />at the Lamar County Courthouse Annex. In the past, elections for District 3 have been conducted at <br />Travis Middle School, which is now located in District 4 and elections for District 6 have been <br />conducted at PJC Applied Technology Building (still located in District 6, but not in a central location). <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Resolution <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$ <br />❑ Department Report ~ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$ <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'I'D Actual <br />$ <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
