CR 2001-114 Precinct Seven
August 15,2001
Cou ncil Report 2001- 114
Change the Polling Place for Precinct Seven
From Greenfield Apartments to St Therese Southwest,
1011 Feltl Court
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to aoorove St Therese
Southwest. 1011 Feltl Court. as the new pollinQ place for Precinct Seven.
Overview
Letters were sent to the polling places in July, notifying them of the November Election.
About two weeks ago, the manager from Greenfield Apartments called to inform staff
that the party room that has been used as a polling place for Precinct Seven would not
be available. The party room has been converted to a weight and exercise room.
Staff met with the manager of 5t Therese Southwest. They will make the sunroom
available to the City for a polling place. The room is right inside the door, at the side of
the main lobby. There should be adequate room for the election equipment to be set
up. We will have to provide a person at the entrance to open the security door for
voters. While this is not the best situation, it is the only other building in the precinct.
Staff thought that we could use the facility this year and see how it works. It is possible
that we will have to combine precinct seven and eight to provide for a polling place in
the next year. Precinct boundaries are fixed until redistricting is completed.
Primary Issues to Consider
. What are the options? Precinct Seven contains the Greenfield Apartments,
St Therese, and single family homes on Landmark Trails, Wagonwheel,
Trailwood Nand S, 10th St S, and Raspberry Woods. The only two buildings
in the precinct that could be used are the Greenfield Apartments and St.
Therese. The only other option would be to change the precinct boundaries.
