RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE election consolidation requests from each jurisdiction that has filed a resolution with the County Clerk-Recorder, Elections Division, to consolidate their elections with the June 7, 2016 Primary Election and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder, Elections Division, to conduct elections for those jurisdictions: City of Clayton, Community Facilities District 2007-1; City of Oakley, City of Richmond, City of Antioch, City of Orinda, City of Pittsburg, Brentwood Union School District, Lafayette School District, Walnut Creek School District, San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority, Chabot-Las Positas Community College District, and the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct cost to the County. Any additional cost incurred by the Elections Division will be recovered from each City, School District, and Special District.

BACKGROUND:

Records indicate that some entities have filed a resolution with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors requesting the consolidation (copies attached of all resolutions) with the primary Election. Granting the requests will allow the County Elections Division to consolidate the Districts' and Cities' elections with the County Primary Election, which may reduce taxpayer costs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not approving the requests will require each City, School, and Special District to conduct its own election, at a likely higher cost.
