T972 - Defeat of the measure to exceed the 6% limitation by $2,264,627 was noted and general discussion on time element to be considered in calling another election, whether to try for one in conjunction with one of the school district budget elections or to hold another separate City election. Staff .- feels the alternative of working within the 6% limitation would have a crippling effect upon existing services, since it would mean a reduction of about $1,600,000 in total dollars available from last year's operation Councilman Mohr suggested holding off until September wi th the idea of voters' being home from vacations, etc. Finance Director said the deadline for certifica- tion of tax levy with the Assessor's office is September 5. He explained combina- I tions of polling places should an election be held in conjunction with School .District 52 or 4J (August 15 or 29). Councilman Williams suggested holding the I City election on the 29th with School District 4J if it is found District 4J operates under the same certification laws. Mrs. Beal said she hopes the budget process in the future could be started earlier so elections could be held before summer vacations start. Mayor Anderson said he felt the whole question should be explored in depth before any attempt to combine elections with school district because of the confusion to voters in the change of traditional City polling places. One possibility would be holding all elections on one day in each month. He suggested setting an election date as quickly as possible to enable calling a fourth election, should it be necessary, prior to the deadline for certification with the Assessor's office. :Some discussion followed on whether to set a new election date before or after a . 'meeting of the budget commi ttee to determine the amount exceeding the 1imi tation to present to the voters. It was agreed a special Council meeting would be held :at City Hall immediately following this meeting at which time an election date ;would be set, as well as a date for meeting of the budget comndttee. It was understood waiver of notification of special meeting would be signed by Council members. I a"-fo 8/14/72 - 9
