Staff Recommendation
Adopt a resolution calling for the holding of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, for the election of certain officers, and adopt a resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo to consolidate a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, and authorizing the City Manager to enter into a service agreement with the County of San Mateo for the provision of election services.
Fiscal Impact
The San Mateo County Elections Office estimate for the November General Municipal Election is approximately $45,000. An additional $5,000 is required for advertising, translation services, and printing of election manuals and other candidate materials. If any measures are added, they would be added at roughly $10,000 per measure. These costs have been incorporated into the proposed FY 2024-25 Budget.
Discussion
There are two City Council seats (District 2 and District 3) available in the November 5, 2024 election. The nomination period for candidates opens Monday, July 15, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. and ends Friday, August 9, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. City Hall operating hours will determine the local filing deadlines in Half Moon Bay (Friday closures).
