The Charter states that "in the event that no candi- date for such numbered Council seat...receives a majority of the votes cast, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes for said seat shall run in a special runoff election to be conducted on the second Tuesday in June following the general municipal election on the second Tuesday in April..." The second Tuesday of June is the primary election, and in order to save a great deal of money, we would recommend that the run-off be consolidated with that election. Mr. Bob Denny, the Registrar of Voters, has stated that March 26 is the last day to request the consolidation and he recommended the resolution be worded such that it would be "conditional." This would be based on the condition that "if" nonec:of the candidates receive a majority of the votes cast and "if" there is a need for a run-off election, we would request the consolidation. Thereafter, after the April 13 election, we would send Mr. Denny and the Board of Supervisors a letter stating the results of the election and whether or not a consolidation is weeded.
