NC Elections. STNC is in Region B. At the May 9 meeting with the City Clerk the "lottery" was held and the week for our election is March 28-April 3, 2010. I have checked the calendar and this is the exact same week as Passover and Easter holidays. I have asked other NC reps present at the meeting their opinion on requesting our week be changed. I have sent a note to the City Clerk's office so we'll see if the date range will be changed. It will be difficult for NCs to promote their elections to be held on any day during that week. However, if it is to be held that week, the next step would be to pick a date that all the NCs in Region B can agree to for election day. STNC has historically held our election on Saturdays. It would be nice to do the same but some NCs are holding elections on a weekday. If you have an opinion, please let me know. At the June 13 meeting with the City Clerk we will decide the date. The other NCs in Region B are: Arleta, Foothill Trails District, Mission Hills, North Hills East (in formation), North Hollywood Northeast, Pacoima, Panorama City, Sun Valley and Sylmar. Also reviewed was the draft elections procedures. The STNC's Bylaws Committee will report at Wednesday's STNC meeting any needed changes our STNC Bylaws need so we can hold our elections. If you have an interest in the City Clerk NC Election meetings they are being held every Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. at Piper Tech. (I can send details if you don't have it. Info is also available from the DONE web site)
Regarding election materials records retention. It was agreed that all NCs should automatically receive Candidate Filing Forms and Stakeholder Registration Forms. Other election documents can be requested from the City Clerk for a fee charged to the neighborhood council. NCs will need to identify the point of contact for receipt of these records.
As of now, all NC elections will also have Vote By Mail if the City Clerk runs the election.
