FROM: Stephen L. Weir, County Clerk-Recorder U:;;, u - '`'� Costa
DATE: June 12, 2007 °STa cauKn County
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE REQUEST OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY TO CONSOLIDATE ELECTIONS
WITH STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTIONS.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION'
Approve the request of the City of Oakley to consolidate elections with Statewide General Elections.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Revenues will go down for the Statewide Direct Primary year elections and will go up slightly for Statewide General even
numbered year elections.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On May 15, 2007, a copy of Ordinance 09-07 adopted by Councilmembers of the City of Oakley on May 14, 2007, was
received by the Clerk of The Board office to consolidate with the Statewide General elections held in even numbered years.
Pursuant to Election Code 10402.5, any State, County, Municipal, Special &School Districts, election consolidation may
only be denied if the Board of Supervisor finds that the ballot style, voting equipment, or company capacity cannot handle
the election.
By approving their consolidation request, the Board is allowing the City of Oakley to share costs where their jurisdictional
boundaries overlap with a larger number of jurisdictions that consolidate with the Statewide General election.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
City of Oakley would be subject to higher election costs in the Statewide Direct Primary election.
BACKGROUND:
City of Oakley has been conducting their elections in the Statewide Direct Primary held in the even numbered years.
