City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

Meeting Date: 01/16/08

Item No.:        

Recommendation: That the Common Council approve the appointments of election officials as listed on the attached pages, for the two-year period of Jan. 1, 2008 through Dec. 31, 2009.

Background:  Pollworkers are appointed at the end of odd-numbered years for a two-year period, in accordance with Wis. Statutes.  Please see the attached pages for the names and addresses of the election official nominees.  Because we have had the names of nominees submitted by only one major party, the majority of the nominees will be designated as “unaffiliated”.  Because 2008 is a major election year, recruitment for new pollworkers will continue, and as new pollworkers are recruited, or if further political party nominations become available, additional appointments will be recommended for approval by the Council in the future.

Fiscal Impact:   Funds have been included in the General Government budget, Part-time Salaries Account, to cover the wages paid to the appropriate number of election officials for all regular elections.

Prepared by and fiscal review by: Beverly A. Buretta, CMC City Clerk/Comptroller
