Requested Board Date: 8-25-2020 Flexibility:

Originating Department: Auditor-Treasurer

Item: Additional hours for Election Temp

Presenter: Jean Prochniak Estimated time: 10 Minutes

Board Action Requested: Consider extending the number of hours for temporary help to assist with the 2020 General Election. Background: Dianne Melzer has been working with our team during the 2020 election cycle beginning with the Presidential Nomination Primary. Her salary costs were covered by the State in their entirety for that election. Due to the pandemic, a request was made to move the funds budgeted in the Elections overtime budget to part-time and this allowed her to help with preparations for the Primary in August. She worked with getting the election judge materials prepared, purchases and organization of the PPE’s required in the polling places, adjusting to all of the rule changes created by the pandemic along with many other tasks. Her help was invaluable. Now we are feverishly working on the General Election for November in addition to completion of the 2020 financial statement, proposed notices for 2021, drainage assessments and getting ready for the second half of tax collections. This election is going to be closely monitored and all processes have to be documented. We have over 4,500 AB ballots already requested and anticipate this to increase in the days/weeks ahead. We have worked with the Recorder and they will be helping with preparation of the mass mailing of ballots to go out October 3rd. They are also going to assist as members of the AB/MB ballot board with accepting and processing ballots for tabulation. This is most helpful as well. The workload is overwhelming at times, and it is important that we do not ask staff to put in excessive overtime as that is difficult with the continuous accuracy required. We hope to utilize Dianne for approximately 30 hours a week for the next eight – nine weeks. That would be an investment of approximately $5,000. I have checked with Clifton Larson Allen and we have determined that this expenditure would qualify under the CARES act.
