Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Joint Election Agreement with Travis County and participating entities for the May 4, 2019 General Election.
Body
This agreement will allow the City to share in the costs of the Travis County portion of our General Election with all of the other entities in Travis County that are participating in the May election. This agreement must be done for each election.
The City's portion of costs in Travis County are based on the number of registered voters, and Round Rock has 687 registered voters in Travis County. The cost estimate is attached to the agreement as Exhibit C. We are responsible for paying a deposit to the County. This deposit represents approximately 75% of the costs of each Participating Entity’s share of the estimated election costs. The County will submit an invoice to each Participating Entity for the balance of the Participating Entity’s actual joint election expenses upon the election’s completion. Joint-election expenses include expenses for facilities, personnel, supplies, and training that the County actually incurs for establishing and operating all early voting and election-day activities at the polling place in the joint election territory as well as activities related to tabulating votes, all as reflected on the Cost Estimate. Each Participating Entity will pay the total amount of its invoice within thirty (30) days of receiving it.
Cost: $1,536.69
