Councilmember Woestehoff asked regarding the polling places and using the municipal center for <br />the destination for two different precincts. He stated he could see it being efficient but also <br />confusing at the same time. He asked if the County gave any feedback on it based on what they <br />have seen across the rest of the County. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher she didn’t have information on that nor has she gotten <br />any feedback on it. When she talked to Paul Linnell, he thought it was a good plan and but didn’t <br />comment on that. She stated with early voting, people are used to coming to the municipal center. <br />She stated there may be some confusion but none she was aware of. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich replied the County is planning to mail a postcard to every voter <br />explaining their polling location and asked if it could be taken down to the level of which room to <br />help clarify it. He stated there would probably be a map at the entrance with the two different <br />precincts. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher confirmed this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that it shows Ward Three, Precinct One and Precinct Three, yet <br />precinct two is the Fire Station which looks like it is outside of the mile boundary. He asked if <br />Precinct Two should be at the Municipal Center instead of the Fire Station. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht replied he has always voted at the Fire Station and it would hard for people <br />to change. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if it has changed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht replied it has been like that. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented on the two precincts being at the same location and that if <br />people are go to the wrong location for their precinct that they would be happier not to have to <br />drive somewhere else instead of just walking down a hallway. She thought that kind of confusion <br />could be easily managed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff agreed. <br /> <br />Deputy City Clerk Schmidt commented that the one mile boundary is per ward, not per precinct, <br />so the boundary should be okay. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was that the Council was comfortable with Wards Three and Four <br />as they are drawn but would like to see more balance between Wards One and Two. Also to <br />include maps and information associated with this case in the ordinance introduction case for the <br />next meeting. <br /> <br />2.02: Discuss the Recruitment Timeline and Advertising for the City Administrator <br />Vacancy <br /> <br />City Council Special Work Session / March 1, 2022 <br />Page 7 of 15 <br /> <br />
