City Council <br />-3- <br />May 12, 1998 <br />Set a Special Election in the City of San Leandro to be conducted by the City <br />Clerk to be held no earlier than August 14, 1998. <br />If the Council repeals the resolution or submits the resolution to the voters, and a majority of the <br />voters voting on the resolution do not vote in favor of it, the resolution shall not again be enacted <br />by the Council for a period of one year after the date of its repeal by the legislative body or <br />disapproval by the voters. <br />Fiscal Impact <br />The cost for conducting a stand alone special election is estimated to be approximately <br />$105,000. This figure is based on the last stand alone election cost in 1994 of $96,201 as <br />adjusted by changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). <br />The cost for conducting a consolidated special election is estimated to be approximately <br />$50,000. This figure is based on the last election in March 1996 of $48,083 as adjusted by <br />changes in the (CPI). <br />If the Council should decide to place this matter on the ballot, there would be a substantial <br />cost savings to consolidate the issue with the November 3, 1998 Statewide Election. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The City Council has received certification of the petitions as being sufficient and therefore must <br />take action to rescind Resolution No. 98-26 as requested by the Hotel Employees, Restaurant <br />Employees and Bartenders Union, Local 2850, AFL-CIO; or, set a Special Election for the issue <br />no earlier than 88 days from the date of certification of the petitions. <br />
