Vill. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. A. Consider amendments to the Election - City Clerk (Exhibit 1). A request to change Election Code Section 26-11 was originally discussed at the February 15" Council Meeting. The Council asked Clerk Gamiotea to research the effects of changing the City General Election to be the same time as the Primary Election so that should a Special Election need to be held, it could be held during the General Election. The main concern noted was the difference in voter turnout. Based on the information obtained from the County Supervisor of Elections the voter turnout is almost double during some election years. Clerk Gamiotea also explained that the Code requires the Mayor to Call the Election to be held 90 days later. There is not sufficient time between the Primary and General Election to meet that requirement. The Council then discussed that County Supervisor of Elections Chandler had offered an estimated cost to conduct a Special Election, of $2,747.20. This is a minimum election with no early vote and only one precinct. There would still be additional advertising the City would have to absorb, adding approximately another $1,000.00. Council Member Williams noted that should the Council take no action, and leave the Special Election requirement in the Code for ties, the new Council and election of Mayor would not take place until March or April with the 90 day requirement. The Council asked Clerk Gamiotea to see whether the 90 days could be shortened and report back to the Council. 5 APRIL 19, 2011- REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 5 I 1 1 II AGENDA III COUNCIL ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE II IX.

Mayor Kirk instructed Administrator Whitehall to again distribute to the Council, the summary of what it would take to switch to a Magistrate -run Code Enforcement. Should there be enough interest expressed by the Council, he could then put the matter on the agenda. VOTE KIRK - YEA MAXWELL - YEA O'CONNOR - YEA WATFORD - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED.

IFTX It&Happenfng OnTheNartaar 2/7/2011 SAMPLE PROCLAMATION City (County) of , Florida WHEREAS, public works services provided in our community are an integral part of our citizens' everyday lives; and WHEREAS, the support of an understanding and informed citizenry is vital to the efficient operation of public works systems and programs such as water, sewers, streets and highways, public buildings, solid waste collection, parks and canal maintenance; and WHEREAS, the health, safety, and comfort of this community greatly depends on these facilities and services; and WHEREAS, the quality and effectiveness of these facilities, as well as their planning, design, and construction, is vitally dependent upon the efforts and skill of public works officials; and WHEREAS, the efficiency of the qualified and dedicated personnel, who staff public works departments, is materially influenced by the people's attitude and understanding of the importance of the work they perform. WHEREAS, this year's theme is "Public Works: Serving you and your community" as we celebrate the hard work and dedication of the many public works professional throughout the world. NOW, THEREFORE, The City Council of the City of Tallahassee, Florida does hereby proclaim the week of May 15 through May 21, 2011 as NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK in the City of Tallahassee, and calls upon all citizens and civic organizations to acquaint themselves with the issues involved in providing our public works; and to recognize the contributions which public works officials make every day to our health, safety, comfort, and quality of life. PASSED AND DULYADOPTED in regular session this CITY OF TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk EXHIBIT 1 APffiL 19, 2011 Q] 06, ".IL-1 91MA TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: City Clerk Gamiotea SUBJECT: Proposed Changes to the Election Code DATE: April 13, 2011 This subject was first discussed at the February 15, 2011 Council Meeting, where the Council asked me to research the effects of changing the City General Election to be the same time as the Primary Election, so that if a Special Election had to be held, it could be held during the General Election. The main concern noted was the difference in voter turn out. Below is the information provided by the Office of the County Supervisor of Elections. Voters in Voters in Year Primary General Difference 2010 629 1165 536 2008 804 1907 1103 2006 906 1314 406 2004 839 1127 288 Another factor to consider is there is not sufficient time to have the Mayor Call for the Election, as required by Charter and Code. A special election has to be called by the Mayor by Proclamation, at least 90 days prior to the date of holding the election. The Primary Election must be held no more than 10 weeks prior to the General Election (per F.S.). Mrs. Chandler also provided an estimate to conduct a City Special Election, this estimate does not include Early Voting, only one precinct at a government building and the City will cover all media advertising: Election Day (Pool workers & training) $1,125.00 Ballots $ 552.20 Election Night Workers $ 200.00 Advertising, Samples Ballots 870.00 Total Estimate $2,747.20 The matter before the Council, is a request to amend Section 26-11 by adopting the same language as the Florida Statutes for resolving ties. Should Council wish to proceed with this change, I will have a proposed ordinance available for first reading at the April 19 meeting. Please call me should you have any questions. Thank you 9 L)aiIBIT 2 AIFIUL • , 2011 _ a MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council Members � tv FROM: City Clerk Gamiotea �. SUBJECT: Citizen Board Appointments DATE: April 13, 2011 Following the January 5 Council Meeting where citizen board appointments were discussed, it was brought to my attention that citizens cannot be appointed to two quasi-judicial boards and that the matter should be researched further. I asked Attorney Cook to give his legal opinion and findings in writing. Attached is a copy. His recommendation is we not permit any one to be appointed to two or more boards. This issue will need to be addressed when the Council considers reappointing Mr. Huckabee and Mr. Ritter. Mr. Huckabee now sits on the OIJA Board (as a County appointee and was not sure this would be a factor but thought it needed to be brought to your attention). Mr. Ritter sits on both the City Fire Pension Board of Trustees and recently was appointed to the Planning Board to fill a vacant term. 1. Code Enforcement Board � We are in need of two alternate members. Any applications received will be distributed at the April 19 meeting (to date we have none). The terms for Alternate Members appointments will be April 20, 2011 to April 30, 2013 and April 30, 2011 to 2014. ® Three current members terms expire April 30, 2011. They are, Rennae Sweda, Randy Huckabee and Judy Douglas, all three have expressed their interest in being reappointed. Any applications received will be distributed at the April 19 meeting (to date we have none). The terms for the regular members appointment will be May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2014 2. Planning Board/Board of Adjustments � Three current members terms expire April 30, 2011. They are, Karyne Brass, Kenneth Keller and Alternate Gary Ritter, all three have expressed their interest in being reappointed. Applications we have on file and any new applications received will be distributed at the April 19 meeting. The terms for appointments will be two Regular Members and one Alternate Member, May 1, 2011 to April 30 2014. 3. General Employee's Pension Board of Trustees � We are in need of one City appointed member. Any applications received will be distributed at the April 19 meeting (to date we have none). The term for appointment will be April 20, 2011 to December 31, 2013. 4. Police Officer's Pension Board of Trustees � We are in need of one City appointed member. Any applications received will be distributed at the April 19 meeting (to date we have none). The term for appointment will be April 20, 2011 to September 30, 2013. February 10, 2011 MEMO Lane Gamiotea City Clerk re: dual office holding Lane: The question of whom may serve on the various boards and commissions within the city and county of Okeechobee comes up from time to time, and in response to your request, I suggest that we implement the following policy within the City, with an explanation as to the reasons for it. The prohibition arises from the Florida constitution, Article II, section 5(a), which states that no person shall hold at the same time more than one office under the governments of the state, counties and municipalities, which applies both to elected and appointed positions. The key of course, it what is an "office"..... this historically has been held to mean that one is prohibited from serving on another board or position if in that other position the board has been delegated some sovereign authority. Without an in depth study of that, suffice it to say that all of our boards, as well as the OUA, have been delegated some sovereign authority. The ability to receive information, make recommendations, issue permits, permissions, fines, create policy, set, recommend or adopt revisions to ordinances for consideration by the council, and related functions would all support the premise that a member thereof holds an "office". In this context, I can only imagine a board where one could serve on more than one at a time would be similar to a fact finding board established to receive information concerning a subject; to compile the information; and pass it on to the council for whatever action they deemed appropriate; i.e. charter revision committee, evaluation and appraisal report to submit to our planners for DCA updates, committee to explore qualified recipients for CDBG grant funds, and things of the sort. In summary then, I would recommend that we not permit any board member on a board within the City to assume a position on another board, or the OUA.
