Budget committee asks legal to invite Secretary of State and Comptroller representatives to discuss election operations
Summary
The budget/finance committee asked the county law department to coordinate a meeting with representatives of the Secretary of State and the Comptroller to review election operations and staffing before the next budget meeting.
Sumner County budget committee members asked the county law department to reach out to the state Secretary of State’s office and the state comptroller to request representatives attend a joint meeting about election operations and expenses.
Committee members said the topic arose in the audit committee and that bringing state representatives into a budget meeting—tentatively scheduled for June 9—would let commissioners ask detailed questions about election worker pay, staffing models and budget impacts before finalizing related appropriations.
Staff agreed to contact the relevant state offices and seek availability for a June meeting; commissioners said they will coordinate whether the discussion should occur during the budget committee meeting or in a concurrent audit session and will provide suggested dates to the state contacts.
