NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. If there is a Countywide Special Election held on March 7, 2017, City
will consolidate its General Municipal Election with the County's Special Election.
(1) That pursuant to the requirements of §10403 of the California Elections Code, the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles is hereby requested to consent and agree to
the consolidation of a General Municipal Election with the Countywide Special Election on
Tuesday, March 7, 2017, for the purpose of the election of a Mayor, two Members of the City
Council, a City Clerk, a City Treasurer.
(2) That the City Council requests the Board of Supervisors to issue instructions to the
Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk to administer, manage and oversee all facets of the City of
Azusa's March 7, 2017 General Municipal Election and further direct the Registrar-
Recorder/County Clerk to perform all necessary functions, services and tasks related to: the
complete and successful conduct of the consolidated election; the provision of all election
materials and equipment; the hiring, training and supervision of poll workers and other election
personnel; the printing and distribution of ballot materials; the translation of ballot materials; the
collection of submitted ballots; the tallying of votes; canvassing and the certification of election
results.
(3) That the City shall reimburse the County for services performed when the work is
completed and upon presentation to the City of a properly approved bill. The City Council
understands that, should a Countywide Special Election be held on March 7, 2017, the Board of
Supervisors will direct the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk to administer the General Municipal
Election for the City of Azusa for the same cost estimate provided by the County to the City of
Azusa on September 23, 2016. This provision is pursuant to action taken by the Board of
Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles on September 13, 2016.
(4) That the County Election Department is authorized to canvass the returns of the
General Municipal Election. The election shall be held in all respects as if there were only one
election, and only one form of ballot shall be used. The election will be held and conducted in
accordance with the provisions of law regulating the Special Election.
(5) That Azusa City Resolution No. 2016-C61 (establishing procedures for a standalone
Municipal election) is hereby superseded by this Section 1.
