Designation of Polling Places for 2020 Elections EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Regular Meeting: June 16, 2020 AGENDA ITEM: Designation of Polling Places for 2020 Elections AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Erin Fasbender, City Clerk AGENDA NO. 6.g. ATTACHMENTS: Draft Resolution APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the attached resolution designating the polling places for the 2020 primary and general elections. BACKGROUND Due to COVID-19, Legislation is allowing for the re-location of polling locations before July 1, 2020 per HF 3429. Because of the pandemic, some polling locations are no longer available. Staff proposes to re-locate Precinct 6 to the Rosemount Steeple Center. This move keeps the number of registered voters fairly even as compared to our other locations based on the number of registered voters within each precinct. Upcoming 2020 elections include; Minnesota State Primary on August 11th and State General/City Election on November 3rd. The new polling places for 2020; Precinct 1: Rosemount Community Center, 13885 South Robert Trail Precinct 2: St. John’s Lutheran Church, 14385 Blaine Avenue East Precinct 3: First Baptist Church, 14400 Diamond Path West Precinct 4 & 6: Rosemount Steeple Center, 14375 South Robert Trail Precinct 5: Our Saviors Church, 14980 Diamond Path Precinct 7: Hosanna Church, 14401 Biscayne Avenue West These updates will be shared on our City and Minnesota Secretary of State Website, and mailers will be sent out on behalf of the county detailing the update in polling locations. In addition, signage will be posted at The Well directing Precinct 6 voters to the Rosemount Steeple Center. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council approve the attached Resolution designating the polling locations for the 2020 primary and general elections.
