Body
Presenter: Wendy Downs, City Recorder
Body
Description/Background:
Each election year Sandy City and Salt Lake County enter into an agreement for the County to provide the services of its clerk's office, election division, to the City for the purpose of assisting the City in conducting its municipal election. This year, the agreement allows for the City to conduct either a traditional or a ranked choice voting (RCV) election. The Council does not need to decide which type of election it will hold prior to adopting the ILA.
Fiscal Impact:
Traditional Voting Election NTE Cost: $119,579
If the City selects an instant runoff voting election/rank choice voting election, the city will be billed for actual costs, which are estimated below.
Rank Choice Voting Election Estimated Cost for both Primary & General: $120,218*
Rank Choice Voting Election Estimated Cost for General Election Only: $72,387*
*Annual licensing fees of $10,000 will be shared by all municipalities that select Rank Choice Voting (RCV). If your jurisdiction alone were to select this option, you would solely bear all licensing costs associated with RCV, in addition to the estimated costs above.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Motion to adopt Resolution 21-12C, A resolution authorizing the execution of an interlocal cooperation agreement between the Salt Lake county clerk elections division and the sandy city recorder’s office regarding assistance in conducting sandy city’s 2021 municipal elections.
