Election. Their intent is to have all cities and special districts consolidate (i.e.,
jurisdictions combining their elections of a specific date and holding one election)
their local elections with the County.
5. On September 14, 2016, the Los Angeles County Registrar/County Clerk advised
that the Board of Supervisors approved this motion. This means that the City's
General Municipal Election that would normally be conducted as a stand-alone
election could be consolidated with the County.
6. On September 23, 2016, the City received an email from Martin & Chapman, City's
election supply vendor, expressing concerns regarding County's request for March
stand-alone cities and special districts to consolidate their election with the
County's Special Election. Martin & Chapman stated that they will only be able to
keep their business going and provide election support up until the 2016 election
season should the cities decide to consolidate with the County.
7. Per California Elections Code Sections 10223-10224, the nomination process will
begin on November 14, 2016, with the last day to file nomination papers being
December 9, 2016. If an incumbent fails to file nomination papers by December 9,
2016, the nomination period is automatically extended to the deadline of December
12, 2016.
ANALYSIS:
Under the provision of the City of Temple City Charter, elective officers of the City are
elected to four year terms by the registered qualified voters of the City, on an at large
basis, at a general or special municipal election held for that purpose. General
municipal elections are conducted on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March
of odd-numbered years.
City of Temple City has conducted stand-alone elections since 1962. However, with the
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor considering calling a special election in March,
the City has the option to consolidate with the County's special election or conduct a
concurrent election at the same time as the County election.
The difference between consolidating and running a concurrent stand-alone election are
listed below:
Consolidating City's General Municipal Election with the County would mean:
• The city will only be involved in candidate nomination paperwork filing, receiving
of FPPC filings, and publishing of notices. Most other elements of the election
would be administered by the County;
• Ballot counting will take place at the County's Registrar of Voter's office, not at
City Hall;
• Semi-final results may not be known until the following days or a week later and
final results may not be certified until April 6, 2017;
• Elected officers may not legally take office until the City receives certification

from the county and declare the results;
• Precinct lists, street indices, vote-by-mail lists, maps, would not be available from
the City Clerk, but from the county; and
• Cost of election may vary depending on changes in any factors and/or overall
election statistics; as well as unanticipated labor rates; cost of materials; and if
the County moves forward with placing a measure regarding homelessness and
other issues for the March election.
If the County moves forward with placing a measure on its Special Election ballot, the
estimated cost to consolidate the City's election with the County would be $37,016.86
(for two Council seats).
If the County does not move forward with calling a special election, they have stated
that they would still conduct the cities' elections in March at a cost-neutral manner to
the cities. The County would do their best to ensure that the cities pays no more than
what they have budgeted for conducting a stand-alone election (i.e., approximately
$77,300 -not including miscellaneous supplies).
Not consolidating the City's General Municipal Election with the County would
mean:
• Duplicate efforts for elections officials such as securing polling locations, recruiting
and training poll workers and election night staff, processing vote-by-mail ballots
which includes verification of all signatures on the vote-by-mail ballots, issuing new
ballots to voters with damaged ballots, processing voters' request to vote-by-mail
and issue ballots, counting of ballot on election night, and processing provisional
ballots and vote-by-mail ballots Friday after the election date;
• Require voters to report to two different polling locations, or if they are located at the
same polling place, the voters must check in at two different tables, sign two
different rosters, and vote two different ballots;
• Vote-by-mail voters will be required to mail separate ballots to different addresses;
• City will be competing with the County for the same pool of poll workers for the City
election;
• Estimated cost for conducting stand-alone election is $88,000. Final cost includes
training and miscellaneous supplies.
The local election process is already prescribed by State and Election law including all
deadlines, and procedures related to election. Consolidation would remove the City
Clerk's Office from the election process up to the certification of candidate nominations.
So, from the date of calling the election to last day of candidate nomination, the City
Clerk's Office would be responsible (similar to Measure AA), but after which the election
is under the control of the County.
The California Elections Code requires that certain resolutions be adopted in order to
hold the City's General Municipal Election on March 7, 2017. These resolutions have to
be adopted by October 17, 2016. If the City Council decides to consolidate the March
General Municipal election with the County, the City Council would need to adopt the
following resolutions:
City Council
October 4, 2016
Page 4 of 5
• Resolution No. 16-5207 (Attachment "A") calls the election, establishes the purpose
for the election, authorizes the City Clerk to conduct the election, establishes
precinct officer compensation, and sets the voting hours as 7:00a.m. to 8:00p.m.;
• Resolution No. 16-5208 (Attachment "B") requesting the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Los Angeles to render specified services to the City relating to the conduct
of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, March 7, 2017;
• Resolution No. 16-5209 (Attachment "C") outlines regulations for the candidates'
statements that are included in the sample ballot pamphlets and mailed to all
registered voters of the City; and
• Resolution No. 16-5213 (Attachment "D") requesting the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Los Angeles to direct Registrar/Recorder County Clerk to administer,
manage and oversee the City of Temple City's General Municipal Election to be held
on Tuesday, March 7, 2017.
If the City Council decides that the City should conduct a concurrent election, then the
City Council would need to adopt the following three resolutions and select a vendor to
provide the City with specialty election services, supplies and equipment to conduct the
election.
• Resolution No. 16-5207 (Attachment "E") calls the election, establishes the purpose
for the election, authorizes the City Clerk to conduct the election, establishes
precinct officer compensation, and sets the voting hours as 7:00a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
• Resolution No. 16-5208 (Attachment "F") requesting the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Los Angeles to render specified services to the City relating to the conduct
of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, March 7, 2017.
• Resolution No. 16-5209 (Attachment "G") outlines regulations for the candidates'
statements that are included in the sample ballot pamphlets and mailed to all
registered voters of the City. As in the past, it is recommended statements
submitted by candidates not exceed 200 words. Again in 2017, the City Clerk will
print all translations of candidates' statements in the voter pamphlet in English,
Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese to comply with California State law.
If City Council should choose to run a concurrent election with the County, staff also
recommends the City enter into a Professional Services Agreement (Attachment "H")
with M & C for the 2017 General Municipal Election. Founded in 1956, M & C assists
over 400 cities, counties, districts and organizations with service, supplies and guidance
for elections. Conduct of an election requires the acquisition of specialty materials and
supplies including nomination petitions; official ballots; sample ballot pamphlets; rosters
of voters; vote-by-mail supplies and software; and precinct kits with notices, provisional
voting materials, signs, etc. translated to meet Voting Rights Act requirements. It is also
necessary to secure a State-approved ballot counting system. The City of Temple City
has utilized services and equipment from M & C since 2001. Although there are other
companies which are authorized by the Secretary of State to print ballots, some of
City Council
October 4, 2016
Page 5 of 5
which provide a portion of the specialty supplies needed for a city-conducted election,
none of them offer the full range of services the City requires,
The cost estimate for election services will be $5,650 more than what was originally
budgeted as the City will have to print its sample ballot booklet with one additional
language (i.e., Vietnamese) than the 2015 election to comply with the Voters Right Act
and increase in number of sample ballot booklets that will be printed for this election.
CITY STRATEGIC GOALS:
Adoption of resolutions calling for the City's General Municipal Election on March 7,
2017 and related election support services furthers the City's Strategic Goals of Good
Governance and Citizen Education and Communication.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the City Council decides to consolidate the City's General Municipal Election in March
with Los Angeles County's Special Election, there will not be an impact on the Fiscal Year
2016-17 City Budget. If the City Council decides to conduct the City's General Municipal
Election concurrently with the Los Angeles County's Special Election in March, then a
budget amendment in the amount of $5,650 is required to cover the cost for election
support services. The additional cost is due to the requirement of translating and printing
all election material with one additional language to comply with the Voter's Right Act and
postage for mailing sample ballot booklets to all registered voters including Permanent
Vote by Mail voters.
