<br />The House district line divides persons living within Mounds View ~chool <br />District 622 into two districts. Precinct 5 is established for persons <br />in House District 54B and Precinct 10 for persons in House District 54A. <br />since the boundaries for these two precincts are established by <br />legislative and school district boundaries, the number of persons in <br />each precinct is relatively small, while the remaining precincts in <br />House District 54A are quite large. The three remaining precincts <br />average 3,600 eligible voters, which is considerably more than 'the cur- <br />rent average of 2,700 eligible voters per precinct. <br /> <br />option B <br /> <br />pi strict <br /> <br />Precinct Location <br /> <br />54B <br />54B <br />54B <br />54B <br />54B <br />54A <br />54A <br />54A <br />54A <br />54A <br /> <br />1 North Heights Lutheran Church <br />2 Parkview Center School <br />3 Prince of Peace Church <br />4 Grace Church <br />5 Roseville Community Center <br />6 McCarrons Training Center <br />7 Roseville Lutheran Church <br />8 Har Mar Shopping Center <br />9 Fairview community Center <br />10 centennial united Methodist <br /> <br />poculation <br /> <br />3,799 <br />4,179 <br />4,122 <br />3,556 <br />1,404 <br />3,130 <br />3,648 <br />3,084 <br />3,428 <br />3,135 <br /> <br />Over 18 <br /> <br />3,107 <br />3,260 <br />3,255 <br />2,868 <br />1,127 <br />2,526 <br />2,887 <br />2,583 <br />2,868 <br />2,653 <br /> <br />By adding an additional precinct in House District 54A, the average <br />number of eligible voters per precinct reflects the current average for <br />those precincts and provides for a minimal change in the current pre- <br />cinct boundaries.. This additional precinct requires the purchase of <br />another optical Scan voting system, currently $7,900 for the hardware, <br />and $275 per year for the maintenance contract. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />It is recommended that Option B be approved. This option increases the <br />number of precincts to ten and keeps the number of voters per precinct <br />at a reasonable level. Because these precincts will be used for this <br />Fall's elections, the cost for the additional voting machine should be <br />budgeted from the contingency Fund. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> <br />Motion adopting resolution setting forth precinct boundaries as outlined <br />in option B above. <br /> <br />Motion authorizing the purchase of additional voting equipment for one <br />polling place at a cost not to exceed $7,900, to be funded from the <br />contingency Account. <br />
