Dear Supervisor DeSaulnier:
At the Concord City Council meeting held January 7, 1997, Concord Councilmembers adopted
Ordinance 96-9, consolidating the City's municipal election with the statewide general election, and
Resolution 97-8, requesting that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approve the
consolidation. The Board of Supervisors is hereby requested to agendize this request for approval of
the consolidation. Ordinance 96-9 and Resolution 97-8 are enclosed for your reference.
The process of consolidating a city election with the statewide general election is referred to in the
California Government Code and the Elections Code. After a city has enacted an ordinance
consolidating the election, the ordinance becomes operative upon the approval of the board of
supervisors. The board of supervisors may deny any request, only if it finds that the ballot style, voting
equipment, or computer capacity is such that additional elections or materials cannot be handled by the
County Elections Office [E.C. 1002 and G.C. 36503.5(a)(1)]. The City of Concord requests that the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approve the consolidation.
As stated in the ordinance and resolution, the Concord City Council approved the consolidation to
reduce election costs for taxpayers and to increase voter turn-out in local elections. It is hoped the
Board of Supervisors will enable the City of Concord to achieve these goals.
Sincerely,
Lynnet K ' 1, CMC
