RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract with the California Secretary of State in an amount not to exceed $565,867 for funding of equipment, software, and other costs related to state and federal voting requirements under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) for the period January 18, 2022 through January 18, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Federal funds (CFDA #90.401). No County matching funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The contract will secure the remaining balance of the County's allocation of HAVA 301 funds, which was authorized by the Board on October 4, 2011 and renewed on September 13, 2016 to fund County efforts to comply with HAVA requirements. This contract replaces the previous contract in the same amount, which ended on June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will lose this funding without an approved contract with the California Secretary of State.
