| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution authorizing election consolidation of a local election, as provided by California Election Code sections 1400 et seq., for local jurisdictions that have measures placed before the voters on June 5, 2018. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
The County Clerk/Elections Department has received resolutions from the Shasta Like Fire Protection District and the Redding School District requesting consolidation with the Primary Election to be held on June 5, 2018. Consolidation must be ordered by the Board of Supervisors. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The regularly scheduled Primary Election is set to be held on Tuesday, June 5, 2018. The County Clerk/Elections Department has received and placed on file resolutions from the Shasta Lake Fire Protection District and the Redding School District requesting election consolidation to place measures on the June 5, 2018 election ballot. Election Code section 10402.5 provides any special district or school district election held the same date as a statewide election date shall be consolidated with the statewide election. Election Code section 10401 provides that if one of the elections to be consolidated is a statewide election, the board of supervisors of the county in which the consolidation is to be effected may order the consolidation. Costs of the election are shared among the entities involved pursuant to Election Code section 10416. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The local agencies requesting resolution have called their elections for June 5, 2018. Should the resolution receive a negative action, separate elections would have to be held for each agency, requiring each to pay the total cost if its election. The Shasta County Clerk/Elections Department does not have the resources to conduct three elections on the same day. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form. The County Administrative Office has also reviewed the resolution and recommendation. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
