Item No. 9 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Janice Ellis, City Clerk <br />SUBJECT: JOINT ELECTION AGREEMENT WITH PISD <br />DATE: January 27, 2015 <br />BACKGROUND: Section 11.0581 of the Texas Education Code requires that the Paris <br />Independent School District hold elections for Board of Trustee members on the same date as <br />municipal or county elections. Chapter 271 of the Texas Election Code requires such election <br />shall be held as a joint election. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: Paris Independent School District has elected to hold their Board of <br />Trustee members on same date as the City of Paris' general election. <br />BUDGET: The estimate provided by the County Elections Administrator for election services is <br />$7,392.14 for the general election, but this amount will decrease should an election be conducted <br />for Paris Independent School District on the same date. The City has $8,000.00 budgeted for <br />elections. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve a Resolution authorizing a Joint Election Agreement between <br />the City of Paris and Paris Independent School District. <br />
