CR 06-030 Change Polling Place for Precinct 7
March 2, 2006
Council Report 2006-030
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 adopt Resolution 2006-
017, resolution desianatina the Hopkins Fire Station as the pollina place for Precinct 7.
Overview
In 2005, the City Council adopted a resolution that divided precinct six into two
precincts, which are now precincts six and seven. At the time that the precinct
boundaries were changed, St. Therese was designated as the polling place for precinct
7. In 2005, the City used the polling place for the City Elections.
Residents of St Therese wandered into and out of the polling place area throughout the
day, making it difficult for the judges and interrupting the voting porcess. The Director
of St. Therese indicated that it would be difficult to ensure that these types of
incidences would be prevented. For that reason, staff determined that the Hopkins Fire
Station would be more appropriate to use as a polling place.
Primary Issues to Consider
. What are the options? There are two sites in South Hopkins that could be
used as a polling place; one being St. Therese, the other being Greenfield
Apartments. Neither has worked out in the past. The Hopkins Fire
Department would be the best location.
