POLLING STATIONS FOR THE COUNTY ON ELECTION
DAY
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines,
and declares as follows:
A. On January 8, 2002, the Orange County Board of Supervisors initiated a
program in which County employees volunteer to serve as poll workers on
Election Day. Its primary objective is to ensure that poll locations
throughout Orange County are staffed with a sufficient number of trained
poll workers.
B. On September 1, 2004, the County of Orange Registrar of Voters
requested that the City of Santa Ana release City employees on
November 2, 2004, in order to allow them to volunteer as poll workers on
Election Day at polling stations in Orange County. The City complied with
this request.
C. The County of Orange Registrar of Voters is again requesting that the City
of Santa Ana release City employees on June 6, 2006, to allow the
employees to volunteer as poll workers at polling stations for the State
Primary election.
Section 2: In the interest of upholding its civic responsibilities and in reflection
of its position as the largest city in Orange County and the County seat for all
government operations, the City Council hereby authorizes the City manager to develop
policies and procedures that allow for the release of City employees on Election Day to
act as volunteer poll workers for the County at polling locations in Orange County. All
work releases shall be voluntary and employees will receive their normal salary for the
day released without regard to the actual hours the employee spends acting as a
volunteer. Employees shall also be released for any mandatory training required of
volunteer poll workers.
Section 3: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting
this Resolution.
