Summary

Council approved an intergovernmental agreement to let Santa Cruz County run town elections at Katy Hall, citing lower costs and an election budget of $1,200; staff will post signage and support turnout.

The council voted to authorize the town manager to sign an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Santa Cruz County for election services, which will consolidate town voting at Katy Hall.

Town staff said the arrangement is more economical and that the town has $1,200 in its election budget; the manager said he does not expect the town to exceed that amount. "We have $1,200 in our election budget. I don't think we'll go over that," the town manager said. Staff also said the town will place signs and have staff on site to help voters and increase turnout.

Council moved and seconded the motion to approve the IGA and carried it by voice vote.
