Summary

Commissioners reviewed vendor quotes for a county mass mailing to inform residents about the ballot item, heard address counts (5,238 total) and discussed mailing to households vs. registered voters; no purchase was authorized and the item was set for further review.

Chairman Huotte presented vendor quotes and address counts to the commission as it weighed outreach options for the ballot measure. The slate of addresses the county mailer would cover included 3,434 single‑family homes, 1,065 apartments, 454 PO boxes and 285 businesses, for a total of 5,238 addresses; a Staples quote for a 6.25"x9" mail piece was about $2,566.22, and Toni's office would charge $200 for a voter list.

Commissioners discussed whether to mail to households (to reach non‑registered residents who might then register) or only to registered voters. They also noted several local printers were closed or unavailable and that Staples appeared to be the practical vendor for a countywide mailing. The commission decided to review the design and costs again at the next meeting before voting.
