Title

Body
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 2023, JCBEC has requested the use of the Lovell Community Center, Harris Park Community Center, Longview Community Center and the Gamber Center for elections to be held in April, August and November 2024 and February 2025.

Proposed Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of an Ordinance approving the 2024 Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners Poll Contracts for the Lovell Community Center, Harris Park Community Center, Longview Community Center and the Gamber Center, and authorizing the Administrator of Parks and Recreation to execute the same by and on behalf of the City.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance approving the 2024 Jackson County Board of Election Commissioners Poll Contracts for the Lovell Community Center, Harris Park Community Center, Longview Community Center and the Gamber Center, and authorizing the Administrator of Parks and Recreation to execute the same by and on behalf of the City.
