Ralph Teschner, Finance Director
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING POlliNG lOCATION
CHANGE FOR PRIOR LAKE PRECINCT #1
Introduction
This agenda item requests authorization to change the polling place in Precinct
#1 from Holy Trinity Church to Prior Lake City Hall beginning with the 2007
general election. Election law requires that any precinct change such as
designated polling locations must be approved at least 90 days before the date
of the next election. This year the City will be conducting a local election for
city and school district offices only on Tuesday, November 6,2007.
Implementing the location change now will allow Scott County adequate lead
time to notify registered voters within Precinct #1 of the polling location change
well in advance of this year's election. Also, early action by the Council will
allow the City to actively promote the change on our web site, Wavelength,
cable broadcasting and other media means.
Precinct size is generally recommended by the Minnesota Secretary of State
Election Division not to exceed a maximum of 2,000 registered voters. The
present registration count within the city is indicated below:

The change is requested primarily due to the congestion in the church hallway,
the small voting room, the handicap accessibility ramp and the fact that city
staff is now utilizing the church parking lot. The move from the church to City
Hall is a relatively short distance since the buildings are virtually across the
street from each other. Relocating to City Hall and conducting election

activities in the Parkview Community Room will be more convenient for the
voters. Voter accessibility will be easier as it will be on one level as opposed to
walking up the steps from the church parking lot which is the case now.
Parking will be available on Dakota and the parking lot adjacent to the police
station.
Staff would recommend adoption of a Resolution Approving Polling Location
Change for Prior Lake Precinct #1. The resolution reaffirms the existing polling
locations for precincts #2, #3, #4, #5, #6A, #68 and #7and authorizes the new
polling location for Precinct #1 to move to Prior Lake City Hall effective for all
future elections beginning in November of 2007.
The following alternatives are available to the City Council:
1. Adopt A Resolution Approving Polling Location Change for Prior Lake
Precinct #1.
2. Table this item for a specific reason.
