RECOMMENDATION(S):

Receive attached presentation from the County Clerk-Recorder regarding preparations for the November 3, 2020 Presidential Election.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Elections cost implications will be dependent on decisions made by the County, legislators, the Secretary of State (SOS), the Governor and the Courts over the next several weeks. There will be increased costs in relation to COVID, but many of them may be reimbursable by CARES, FEMA, and State funding opportunities. Potential funding from CARES or other allocations will flow through the SOS and it is uncertain if these funds will be block grants or reimbursements. We anticipate that they will be reimbursements with some match amount and the County will have to cover the match amount. The SOS has made it clear that funding will be tied to meeting SOS recommendations/directives and not all expenses will be reimbursable. A portion of the costs of the November 2020 election will be billed to participating jurisdictions. Not all costs are reimbursed, as the County is obligated for the cost for County, State, and federal issues.
