SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
On January 24, 2018, the Governing Board of the Fort Bragg Rural Fire Protection District ("District") adopted a resolution requesting the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors ("Board") to approve consolidation of the District's election of their governing board with the statewide General Election in November of each even-numbered year. The Board received notice of this resolution on February 8, 2018. In accord with Elections Code section 10404.5(d)(1), the Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters provided an impact analysis. Section 10404.5(d)(1) requires the Board to approve the District's resolution unless it finds that the ballot style, voting equipment or computer capacity is such that additional elections or materials cannot be handled. As reflected in the impact analysis, no evidence exists to support such a finding at this time.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Decline to adopt resolution.
