DISCUSSION:
With the consolidation of elections by most of the
cities in the County, the Registrar of Voters ' staff
will not be able to issue official results to any of
the cities until at least 28 days after the election.
However , because of the requirements of Section 22932 ,
semi-official results will be submitted to the Council
at the meeting of November 13 . Generally , the official
results vary only by a few votes and the results of the
ballot propositions will not change (unless , of course,
there is a difference of only a few votes) . As soon as
the official results are received, they will be written
into the permanent record.
FISCAL IMPACT: Advance payment of $11 , 180 was sent to
the Registrar of Voters on October 12 ,
1984 . The total cost of the election
will not be known until January 1985 .
