Title
Resolution Authorizing Approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement Between the Town of Castle Rock and Douglas County Regarding the Conduct and Administration of the November 5, 2024, Regular Municipal Election
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The Town will hold their regular municipal election on November 5, 2024 for Councilmembers for Districts 1, 2, 4 and 6 and a TABOR ballot issue.
On July 16, 2024, the Town Council approved a Resolution directing that the 2024 Regular Municipal Election be conducted by Douglas County as a coordinated election.
Coordinated elections shall be conducted in accordance with an intergovernmental agreement between the Town and the County Clerk signed no later than seventy days prior to the election. The Resolution approving the Intergovernmental Agreement to coordinate the election with Douglas County is attached.
Budget Impact
The election costs are estimated to be approximately $80,000 as the County charges municipalities $1 per registered voter and to share the costs for any TABOR ballot initiatives, publications, and any space over the minimum allowed. The Town will have Town Council candidates on the ballot and anticipates a TABOR issue.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve the Resolution approving the Intergovernmental Agreement with Douglas County to coordinate the election.
Proposed Motion
“I move to approve the Resolution as introduced by title.”
