Adopt resolution delegating authority to the Registrar of Voters to order the consolidation of local elections and approve the provision of election services. (No general fund impact) (Salinas)

The Board of Supervisors (Board) approves the provision of election services by the Yolo County Registrar of Voters to any city or district that requests said services pursuant to Section 10002 of the Elections Code. The Board also authorizes, under Elections Code section 10400 et seq, the consolidation of local elections that meet applicable legal requirements, including, but not limited to, those set forth in sections 10402 and 10403 of the Elections Code. Cities and districts who request either consolidation or elections services are required to reimburse the County for related costs.

The Board meeting schedule requires an earlier deadline for cities and districts to submit their requests when under the Elections Code; they have until 88 days prior to the election (E-88) to do so.  This resolution delegates these authorities to the Registrar of Voters to allow jurisdictions to instead submit paperwork up to and until the legal deadline for each election of E-88.
