CC - Item 4G - Supplemental Funds for Special Election• TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL FROM: NINA CASTRUITA, CITY CLERK DATE: JANUARY 18,2006 • RE: REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS FOR SPECIAL ELECTION The Office of the City Clerk has continued to spend certain funds for the Special Municipal Election, originally scheduled for Tuesday, February 7, 2006. Although a federal judge has granted a Temporary Restraining Order which halted the election, the City will have to continue to pay for temporary staff, the election consultants, Martin & Chapman and other miscellaneous expenses. We need authorization to do so and thus are requesting that $200,000 be appropriated at this time. Once all invoices pertaining to the election have been paid, we will prepare a report summarizing the costs and post a budget transfer for the total cost of the Special Municipal Election. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Rosemead City Council appropriate $200,000 from Unappropriated Reserves for the costs incurred for the Special Election.
