ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
And | can discuss briefly if you desire?
President Wilshire
Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd
We have worked with City Clerk Lovering to be able to conduct the primary at the Middle School even
though it is under construction. But in November, the site will not be conducive to having the public there.
So we are just moving it across the street to the gymnasium, right across (audio cuts out) and the election
will be held there in November.
President Wilshire
Thank you, Alderman Dowd. Any questions, does anybody have any questions/concerns? The Motion
before us is to accept and place on file and approve the temporary relocation of Ward 6 Polling Site from
the Fairgrounds Middle School to the Fairgrounds Elementary School for the November 3” State General
Election. Alderwoman Kelly?
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you and thank you for that explanation Alderman Dowd. It seems to make sense. My question is
what are we doing to make sure people know where they are voting. | realize it is across the street but |
would never want anyone to not be able to vote because they got confused.
Alderman Dowd
| will turn that over to City Clerk Lovering who has got this well in hand and is meeting all the requirements
of the State.
President Wilshire
Madam Clerk?
City Clerk Loving
Thank you very much. We are hoping that you will pass this measure this evening so that we can provide
adequate signage at the State Primary. But in addition to that, we will be following the State Law and
giving mails to all registered voters within the Ward, as well as public announcements, web site, Telegraph
and other means that we can get it out to the public.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you.
President Wilshire
Anyone else? Alderman Dowd?
