Action Requested
Adopt,by motion, a resolution designating polling locations for the 2020 elections.
Background/Discussion
Cities are required to designate polling places for each precinct within 90 days before an election. There
will be three new polling places for the 2020 elections. With the new presidential primary scheduled in
March,polling places must be designated by December 4,2019.
Lions Park Center and the Activity Center were previous polling locations not available for the 2020
election due to their inclusion in the Multipurpose Facility project. Meadowvale Elementary was also a
polling location but with increasing safety concerns about using schools as polling locations across the
nation, the district respectfully asked us to consider a new location.
