Ranked Choice Voting 4 December 7, 2009 <br />Fiscal Impact <br />There is $60,000 budgeted in FY 2009-10 to conduct the June 2010 election. The use of RCV in <br />2010 is estimated to cost $1'70,000. if the Council chooses to use RCV in 2010, an additional <br />$110,000 should be budgeted for the FY 2010-11 election budget from the General Fund. <br />Attachments <br />None. <br />CONCLUSION <br />Given the SOS has not granted administrative approval of the Ranked Choice Voting system, the <br />lack of action on the part of the other cities to adopt the RCV for 2010, the additional cost that <br />would be incurred in the current budget, and the need for a decision in order to move forward <br />with planning for the 2010 election, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a motion, <br />directing staff not to pursue the use of RCV for November 2010, and proceed with calling the <br />June 2010 election. <br />Delaying the decision until January 2010 will have impacts both on staff workloads and on the <br />candidates and their campaigns. However, the Council can continue the matter to its January 19, <br />2010 meeting and still meet legal time lines. <br />
