City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

09/24/2019

BACKGROUND

On September 9, 2019 at 9:29 a.m., I received an email from Election Administrator - Guadalupe County that Comal County has been approved for vote centers by the Secretary of States Office. I made contact with Cynthia Jaqua, Elections Coordinator/Deputy to the County Clerk to confirm.

Because Comal County has County-wide polling locations and has been approved for Election Day Vote Centers on Election Day, and our ballot has to be available in that County, Guadalupe County does not have the resources (equipment/clerks) to be in those additional locations.

GOAL

Is to provide the City of Schertz voters with updated information regarding early voting and election day vote center information for each county for voting in the upcoming November 5, 2019 Joint/General and Special City of Schertz election. General election is to elect Councilmembers in Place 1, and 2 and for the Mayor for a three-year term to begin November 2019 and ending 2022, and for a Special Election for the purpose of electing a Councilmember for Place 4 for the remaining year of the unexpired term.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Provide to the City of Schertz voters updated information regarding Early Voting location dates and times and Election Day Vote Center information for our three counties, Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Approve Resolution 19-R-129 - Authorizing and approving a revised election contract with the Guadalupe County Election Administrator for the conduct of our November 5, 2019, General election for the purpose of electing Councilmembers for Place 1, Place 2, and for Mayor for a three term and a Special election for the purpose of electing a Councilmember for Place 4 for the remaining year of the expired term.

FISCAL IMPACT

Estimated Cost is $19,250.50

RECOMMENDATION
