TO: Andy Mccown, City Manager
FROM: Patricia H. Crow, City Clerk
DATE: April 13, 1988
SUBJECT: SPECIAL FRANCHISE ELECTION -JUNE 21, 1988
The Election Commission met on April 12, 1988, and approved the Special
Election Calendar, copy of which is attached for your review and Council's
information.
The Commission also approved by motion a recommendation presented by the City
Clerk to establish four centrally located polling places for the Special
Election. The polling places selected are:
District I
District II
District III
District IV
Malley Center, 3380 South Lincoln Street
Kaiser Permanente, 2955 South Broadway
Englewood School Administration Building,
4101 South Bannock Street
Sinclair Middle School, 300 West Chenango
Attached is a District map with the polling places marked. The Commission's
decision was based on various factors, such as an expected low voter turn-out
as well as difficulty in securing a sufficient number of judges to man 16
polling places during the month of June, right after school is out. The
members were also agreed that limiting the polling places to four would not
alter the results of the election.
The Commission did request that special effort be made by the City's Public
Relations Specialist to inform the citizens of this decision both in the
Englewood Sentinel and The Citizen. They request that articles be inserted in
both the May and June issues of The Citizen, and they have instructed that a
half page ad be placed in the Sentinel in an attempt to better inform the
citizens of the polling places which will be used on June 21. The cost of the
advertisement would be included with other election expenses which are to be .
paid by Public Service Company.
