RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the consolidation requests from each and any jurisdiction that filed a resolution with the County Clerk-Recorder, Elections Division and the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to consolidate their elections with the November 8, 2016 General Election, and AUTHORIZE the Elections Division to conduct the elections for those jurisdictions on November 8, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no additional direct cost to the County. Any additional cost incurred by the Elections Division will be recovered from each City, School and Special District that choose to consolidate their elections with the November 8, 2016 General Election.

BACKGROUND:

Records indicate that the entities have filed a resolution with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors requesting consolidation with the General Election. Granting the requests will allow the Elections Division to consolidate the Districts' and Cities' elections with the County's Presidential General Election, which will reduce the County's cost of conducting the election.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not approving the requests will require each City, School, and Special District to conduct its own election.
