Ensure sufficient resources and staffing to meet service demands. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 20-021 - Appointing Election Judges for the March 3, 2020 Presidential Nominating Primary. BACKGROUND: As part of the election process, the City Council must authorize the appointment of election judges to conduct election day activities. The polling places for the eight (8) voting precincts are located as follows, along with their current registered voter count: Precinct Location #1 Prior Lake City Hall 4646 Dakota Street SE #2 St Paul’s Lutheran Church 5634 Luther Road SE #3 Prior Lake Fire Station #1 16776 Fish Point Road #4 Friendship Church 17741 Fairlawn Avenue #5 Prior Lake Fire Station #2 3906 Station Place NW #6A Holy Cross Church 14085 Pike Lake Trail NE #6B Living Hope Lutheran Church 8600 Horizon Drive, Shakopee #7 Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church 13760 McKenna Road NW 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. City of Prior Lake | 4646 Dakota Street SE | Prior Lake MN 55372 Item 5B Page | 2 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. Motion and second to adopt a resolution appointing election judges for the March 3, 2020 Presidential Nomiating Primary as a part of the consent agenda. 2. Motion and second to remove from the consent agenda for discussion.
