Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Ramsey County expanded the locations for elections administration for convenience to the <br />voters but also because feedback from various cities following the 2016 election process <br />included the challenge of managing the day-to-day City operations and regular workload while <br />administering elections. Many cities also found it challenging to manage the crowds relating to <br />how their City Hall is set up (front desk disruption while conducting regular City Hall <br />business, adequate space for voters, etc.). <br /> <br />Staff is asking the Council for direction as to whether or not they wish to continue to have City <br />staff administer early voting at City Hall, or in the alternative, to relinquish this activity to <br />Ramsey County. Note that one of the voting locations is near City Hall ~ at the Ramsey <br />County Public Works facility in Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Ramsey County has asked for a decision by April 30, so staff is requesting Council make its <br />decision regarding this matter at the April 16 work session.
