Conclusion
The polls shall be open from 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. The judges will report
to their assigned precinct location one hour prior to the poll opening for
set-up preparation.
ISSUES Each year, in accordance with the law, we make an effort to provide for a
balance between the various political parties in our election judge
appointments. This can be complicated both by the political composition of
the community as well as the political bent of the persons volunteering to
judge.
The resolution does not designate the precinct for any judge so that in the
event of election judge cancellations, the City may reassign judges to a
different precinct in order to maintain party representation to the extent
possible.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Judges are paid $11.00, and head judges are paid $14.00 per hour as
approved within this year’s operating budget. Judges work approximately
16 hours each on each election day.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a resolution appointing election judges for the August 14,
2018 primary election and the November 6, 2018 general election
as part of the consent agenda.
2. Motion and second to remove this item from the consent agenda
for additional discussion.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION:
Alternative #1.
