TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS
Resolution 14-03
Resolution to Give the Registrar of Voters Office
First Priority for the Use of City Facilities
as Polling Places
WHEREAS, the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters is charged with the
conduct of elections, and part of that responsibility includes the recruitment and retention
of polling places; and
WHEREAS, the Registrar of Voters office needs government owned facilities to
be dependably available for our use as polling places for each election, the Registrar of
Voters could more efficiently provide the services mandated under the law; and
WHEREAS, the voters in Santa Clara County like to go to the same polling place
for each election, and when their polling place is changed it causes much confusion; and
WHEREAS, Election Code 12282 states that, "Property exempted from taxation
pursuant to Section 214 of the Revenue and Taxation Code shall be made available free
of charge to the elections official for use as a polling place pursuant to 213.5 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code", and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Registrar of Voters Office is
granted the use of any Town property to be used as Election Day polling places pursuant
to Election Code 12282.
