DATE: March 6, 2007 County
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE REQUEST OF THE KNIGHTSEN TOWN COMMUNITY SERVICES
DISTRICT TO CONSOLIDATE ELECTIONS WITH STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTIONS.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the request of the Knightsen Town Community Services District to consolidate elections with Statewide General
Elections.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Revenues will go down for odd year elections and will go up slightly for even numbered year elections.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On January 11, 2007, the Knightsen Town Community Services District formally filed a resolution with the Clerk of The
Board office to consolidate with the even numbered year elections.
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 jurisdiction to share costs where their jurisdictional
boundaries overlap.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Knightsen Town Community Services District would be subject to higher election costs in an odd year election.
BACKGROUND:
Knightsen Town Community Services District officially became a Special District in 2005.
