RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE election consolidation requests from those jurisdictions who 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 3, 2020 General Election, and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder to conduct the elections for those jurisdictions listed below who submitted measures to voters:


Contra Costa County

CSA-R7 (Alamo area)

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

City of Antioch
City of Concord
City of Orinda
City of Pittsburg
City of Richmond
City of San Pablo

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 chooses to consolidate its election with the November 3, 2020 General Election.

BACKGROUND:

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