Committee opts to hold special election Dec. 17 for feasibility ballot question

Staff member laid out two scheduling options for the ballot question and emphasized the municipal deadlines and costs associated with calling an election. "If you went with that scenario, then, the last day to register to vote would be December 7," the Staff member said, and added that the last day to request a mail-out ballot would be Dec. 11 and early voting would run Dec. 5–11.

After discussing the tradeoffs, Chair called for a show of support and the committee signaled in favor of holding the special election on Dec. 17. Chair stated, "All in favor of the 17th," and the committee adopted that timeline for moving the warrant forward.
