Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance approving the 2021 Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners Poll Contracts and authorizing the Mayor to execute the same by and on behalf of the City.
Key Issues:
Each year, the Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners (JCBEC) uses certain City and Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation owned facilities as polling places. For 2020, JCBEC has requested the use of Gamber Community Center, Longview Community Center and the Lovell Community Center for elections to be held in March, April, August and November 2021.
Because JCBEC is a political subdivision, RSMo. Section 70.220-70.230 is applicable, and requires the approval of the Agreements by the governing body of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
