She expressed the need for the Council to <br />adopt ordinances setting forth specific guidelines for conducting the runoff election or, <br />alternatively, consider a return to plurality elections. <br /> <br />Councilmember Nardine pointed out for the record that changing the date ofthe General <br />Municipal Election will increase cost of that election by $20,000 or more. Mayor <br />Young noted that the while this is true, the cost of the subsequent runoff election would <br />be considerably less than the runoff election held earlier this year. <br /> <br />Councilmember Santos commented that he is opposed to the change in election dates <br />due to the possibility that Instant Runoff Voting will be available for use in the 2008 <br />General Municipal Election. <br /> <br />.
