RESOLUTIONOlapRequesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego to consolidate a municipal election, authorize said Board to canvass the returns , and to permit the Registrar of Voters to render certain specified services to the City of Chula Vista in connection with the conduct of the consolidated municipal election on November 3 , 1987 to be held in the City of Chula Vista b . RESOLUTION ( 31 ( Calling and giving notice of the holding of an election to be held in said City on Tuesday, November 3 , 1987 , for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of Chula Vista, a vote on the office of City Council Seats Numbers 3 and 4 and consolidating said election with the consolidated election to be held on the same date SUBMITTED BY: City Clerk (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X) A general municipal election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3 , 1987 for Council Seat Numbers 3 and 4 ( currently held by Tim Nader and David Malcolm) . In accordance to the State Election Code ( Section 23302 ) , the City must submit a request to the Board of Supervisors to authorize the Registrar of Voters to consolidate our municipal election no later than 88 days prior to the election (by August 7 , 1987 ) . RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolutions for the consolidation and calling the general election on November 3 , 1987 . DISCUSSION: The election will be just for the two Council seats - no propositions have been requested. Resolution "a" also incorporates having the Board of Supervisors canvass the returns and to permit the Registrar of Voters to render specified services - this includes setting up the precincts, paying the election workers , printing and mailing the sample ballots and counting the votes . The City Clerk is still required to do all the legal work; publishing all notices, handling the filing of nominations and the campaign statements and statements of economic disclosures . Resolution "b" is calling the election . The two Seats up for election will be for a one-time only five year term. This is based on the Proposition passed in 1985 changing the Council elections to November of even-numbered years . FISCAL IMPACT: In December , at the time of preparing the budget, the accountant at the Registrar of Voters office gave us a verbal estimate of $2 ,500 . He made a mistake, basing his estimate on a statewide election instead of a "going-it-alone" election. This has now been revised and the estimate is $70 , 000 . A special appropriation will be requested at the time of the actual billing . 1041C • b■i the Cit.
