MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Maureen W. Wall , City Clerk
DATE: November 13, 1987
SUBJECT: Resolutions Necessary for the Special Election to be held on
February 23, 1988
On November 10, 1987 your Council took action to certify results of the
Special Election held in Moorpark on November 3, 1987. Pursuant to
Elections Code Section 27333, the Council is now required to call for an
election to be held to fill the vacancy on the Council .
This election is to be held not less than 88 days nor more than 103 days
Artfollowing the call of the election. The first proposed resolution attached
calls and gives notice of that election to be held on February 23, 1988.
In conjunction with the calling of the Special Election on February 23,
1988, another proposed resolution has been prepared which asks the Ventura
' County Board of Supervisors to permit the County Clerk to render specific
services to the City for that Special Election, and to canvass those
election returns.
The Request for Election Services (attached to the proposed resolution as
Exhibit A) spells out each item of service the City is requesting. In
essence, the County will be providing master sets of election forms;
verifying signatures on the candidate' s nomination petitions; printing the
candidates' statements and all necessary election forms; and providing all
equipment, equipment set—up, and precinct workers necessary to carry out the
election.
It is staff' s recommendation that the City Clerk be directed to he present
at the Election Center during election night to telephone results of the
election back to the City as they become available. This procedure has
worked well in the past.

County Elections staff has given the City an estimate of $9,000 for all
services. As a point of reference, our Special Election in June 198.6 cost
the City $7,782; but was estimated to cost $6,500. Final cost of the
November 87 election was not available.
The candidate's statements are printed by the County, but are paid for by
the candidates. Pursuant to Resolution No. 84-107, these statements may not
be more than 200 words in length, and the printing costs would be $175 for
each statement. Additionally, verification of the signatures on the
nomination petitions is completed by the County at a rate of $.28 per
signature checked.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve Resolution No. 87".4/A Calling and Giving Notice of the
Holding of a Special Municipal Election to be Held on February 23,
1988.
2. Approve Resolution No. 87- s4 Requesting the Board of Supervisors
of Ventura County Permit the County Clerk to Render Services and to
Canvass the Returns for the Special Election to be Held on February
23, 1988; authorize the Mayor to execute the Request for Election
Services on behalf of the City; and direct the City Clerk to be
present at the Election Center on election night to telephone
results to the City as they become available.
3. Appropriate funds in an amount not to exceed $9,000 from the General
Fund to Elections Fund number 113-549.
