The City originally entered the contract with the agreement the City of La Porte <br />would conduct the election even if the City election was cancelled. After three years, the City Secretary's Office has <br />determined it would not be cost effective for the City to handle elections if the City is able to cancel its own. <br /> <br />The City of Shore acres has never handled joint elections if they cancelled their own election. The City of Morgan's <br />Point is also negotiating a new contract with the school and college districts and will not be handling joint elections <br />if there election is cancelled. <br /> <br />The City Secretary met with both districts last week and they will be adopting the new contract at their next public <br />meetings. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: Staff recommends City Council adopt the ordinance and contract <br />relieving the City from conducting joint elections for other entities if its own elections is cancelled. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Al!enda <br /> <br />Q~ T, \-t~ <br />Robert T.
