Board hears $35,000 election budget and council interest in off-site voting
Summary
Staff reported the election budget remains $35,000 and said a council member raised the possibility of off-site voting (for example at the farmers market); the board noted such a change would require a code amendment or ordinance and counsel review.
At the meeting, staff reported that the town election line in the mayor and council budget remains $35,000.
Jessica said a council member asked whether the board had considered off-site voting at locations such as the farmers market. She noted that pursuing off-site voting would require a code change and likely an ordinance, and said the board would need counsel to review any proposed language before taking it to council.
The board treated the off-site voting suggestion as an exploratory idea and did not take formal action; members welcomed the council’s engagement and said the next step would be to determine legal requirements and any budgetary implications before pursuing changes.
