FROM: C. E. Dixon, County Administrator Contra
Costa
DATE: March 20, 1984 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: SB 1811 (.Russell )
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 1811 .
BACKGROUND:
Existing law requires the county clerk to publish in a newspaper the list of
the names of the precinct board members appointed and the polling places designated
for each election precinct,
This bill would delete this requirement, but it would require the list to be
available for public inspection.
Enactment of SB 1811 would save Contra Costa County approximately $8000 for each
election. Each voter is already advised of his or her polling place, clarification
can be obtained by telephone from the Elections Department and keeping the list
available for public inspection appears to adequately meet any requirement for
public access and notification. The elimination of this requirement is consistent
with the Board's longstanding support for the Platform for Efficient Government
and, therefore, deserves the support of the Board of Supervisors.
