City Council Approves Temporary Transfer of NC Elections from City Clerk to Dept. of Neighborhood Empowerment

The City Council took action in support of Councilman Krekorian's recommendation that NC elections not be postponed until 2014, but be available in Fiscal Year 2012-13. The next step will be deciding how to pay for it.
The Department was asked to report back to Council on a plan to administer elections along with a budget request. General Manager Kim responded that a report could be ready for City Council consideration as soon as 4-6 weeks. A timely decision on funding is critical so that planning can begin to offer elections within the desired time.
