CC Work Session 2.4. <br />Meeting Date: 04/ 11 /2023 <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Discuss Polling Locations <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Background: Following the 2022 General Election, we received comments from the public, head judges and staff <br />regarding two facilities that did not work well in administering the election. Independent Baptist was used for our <br />Ward 2 Precinct 2 polling location and Fire Station #2 was used for our Ward 4 Precinct 1 polling location. See <br />the attached comments about issues at both locations. <br />Staff proposes utilizing Fire Station #1 for voters who previously voted at Independent Baptist (W2P2). The <br />second proposal is to utilize Ramsey Elementary for voters who previously voted at Fire Station #2 (W4P I). Both <br />proposed locations have previously been used as polling locations and offer ample well -lit parking lots, are ADA <br />compliant and offer large rooms to administer voting. The change would be effective for the 2024 scheduled <br />elections. <br />Purpose: To decide on alternate polling locations for Ward 2 Precinct 2 and Ward 4 Precinct 1 that are within one <br />mile of the precinct boundary. A resolution would be brought forward to City Council later in 2023 establishing <br />the 2024 polling locations as required by law. <br />Timeframe: <br />Approximately 15 minutes <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />City Clerk <br />Outcome: <br />To receive clear direction from the Council with regard to changing the polling locations for Ward 2 Precinct 2 <br />and Ward 4 Precinct 1 for the 2024 Elections. <br />Complaints/Comments Received Post Election <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 04/06/2023 01:58 PM <br />Form Started By: Katie Schmidt Started On: 04/06/2023 10:59 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 04/06/2023 <br />
