John SzerIag, City Manager <br />Jane A. Hines, CMC, City Clerk ~ A~ <br /> <br />February 15,2007 <br /> <br />ORDINANCE CHANGING THE 2007 GENERAL ELECTION DATES <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance changing the 2007 <br />General Election date to November 6, 2007, with a run-off election date of December 4, 2007. <br /> <br />REASONS <br /> <br />The Miami-Dade County Elections Department has requested the City of Sunny Isles Beach to <br />move its Election date from Tuesday, November 13,2007 to Tuesday, November 6, 2007. The <br />run-off election date, if needed, would change from December I I, 2007 to December 4,2007. <br /> <br />This change would be of mutual benefit to the City and to the Elections Department as several <br />municipalities are holding elections on November 6, 2007 (Hialeah, Miami, Miami Beach, and <br />Homestead). The Elections Department can run several municipal elections more efficiently on <br />one date rather than on several different dates. It can also result in spreading out certain fixed <br />costs among several municipalities, resulting in lower costs to each municipality. The estimated <br />savings for the City of Sunny Isles Beach is over $10,000.00. <br /> <br />ADDITONAL INFORMATION <br /> <br />Additionally, fewer election dates can lead to less voter confusion and higher voter turnout <br />because media are more apt to inform the public about an election date in which more voters are <br />eligible to participate. <br /> <br />C(Jn~r r-.femo Change Dates Of 2007 Electiun.Doc <br /> <br />Date <br /> <br />YC2- <br />3-15-07 <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br />
