3.5. SR 05-05-2008REQUEST FOR ACTION To Item Number Ci Council 3.5. Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent Ma 5, 2008 Tina Allard, Ci Clerk Item Description Reviewed by Resolution Designating Polling Places for the City of Elk River Lari ohnson, Ci Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Council motion to adopt a resolution designating polling places fox the City of Elk River. BackgroundlDiscussio n The polling location for Waxd 3A (Ivan Sand School) is no longer able to accommodate us due to their own space issues. Staff has reviewed the Activity Centex and it fits our needs with the exception that the xestrooms do not meet the current building code requirements (specifically fox elections) for handicap accessibility. A handicap accessible portable toilet would need to be rented for the Primary and General Election. (When the Library was converted to the Activity Center it was inspected and did meet the building code requirements that were in effect at that time.) Ward 4B (St. Andrews Church) is currently located just outside the precinct boundary. Staff reviewed other possible locations in the precinct but didn't feel any of them met our needs. State Statute allows the polling location to be outside the precinct boundary within 3,000 feet. Staff would request that the St. Andrews Church continue to be the polling location for Waxd 4B. This precinct has moved around quite a bit in recent years and it would be beneficial to maintain consistency in the location fox voters. In 2010 the Census will be happening and precinct boundaries and polling locations will most likely occur afterwards. Below axe some of the locations considered fox Waxd 4B: Twin Laken School There were complaints about inadequate parking when the school district held their special election last year. The 2008 election predictions ate fox a high turnout of voters this year. Citizens complained they were unable to locate the school due to its location and because mapping search engines provided the wrong directions. There was further confusion between the school and Twin Lakes Christian Church due to the similar names and their pxoxunity to each other. Twin Lakes Church is a polling location for Ward 4A. Schools, in general, tend to have concerns regarding safety and security around kids. St. Andrews has ample parking and interior space and axe easy to work with when it comes to coordination of the elections. Program Facility Building (TH 1G9 & Main Street) This facility is small, has poor lighting, and there were some accessibility issues. 5:\ Administration\Council RCA\Flections\042108 Polfing Place Designadon.doc Resolution is under S/Administration/Elections/RCSOlutions/Polling Place Desig Pullman Place Staff contacted Pullman Place and they were not interested in having people coming through their facility.
