CONSENT AGENDA- Cathy Sorensen, City Clerk
Title
UPDATED POLLING PLACE DESIGNATION FOR THE 2019 SPECIAL ELECTION FOR ANOKA COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 6
Background
Council adopted Resolution 18-205 designating polling place locations for 2019 as required annually by Statute and in the event of a special election. Since then Bridgewood Community Church at 11670 Lexington Avenue NE has informed Anoka County staff that they are unable to serve as a polling location for Precinct 3-8 for the Special Election for Anoka County Commissioner District 6 seat. Council is asked to designate Blaine City Hall as the polling location for Precinct 3-8 for the November 5 Primary Special Election; notice of the new polling location will be sent to every affected household prior to the Primary. The two other precincts that comprise District 6 in Blaine have been confirmed to serve as polling locations and are 1-7 Our Savior’s Lutheran Church and 1-8 Centennial Senior High Performing Arts Center.
City staff may be bringing forward other polling locations changes for 2020 as well in preparation for the Presidential Primary in March.
Recommendation
Adopt the proposed resolution designating the polling locations for the 2019 Special Election for Anoka County Commissioner District 6.
