INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Council Committee of the Whole
FROM: Shawn Hunstock, Interim City Administrator
DATE: August 4, 2011
SUBJECT: Timeline /Cost Information
ISSUE
Per the Council President's request, following is the timeline for placement of an Advisory Vote
on the November 8, 2011 General Election.
DISCUSSION
TIMELINE:
August 15 Resolution approval at Regular Meeting. City Clerk's Office would begin process
for establishing Pro /Con Committees
August 16 Resolution, certified by City Clerk, due to King County Elections. (Hand delivery
to Elections Office by Clerk's staff)
August 19 Explanatory Statement due from City Attorney to King County
August 24 Pro /Con Statements due from citizens to King County
August 26 Rebuttal statements due from citizens to King County
COSTS:
Costs for both the November 2011 General Election and the February 2012 Special Election
were provided by the King County Election's Office on August 3, 2011 and are shown below.
In summary, since Tukwila is already participating in the November General Election (by way of
our elected official races), the only added cost for an additional voter pamphlet page (for the
ballot title, explanatory statement, pro /con statements) would be $300 -$500.
If we placed an Advisory Vote on the February 2012 Special Election (Tukwila does not have
other measures for that election), the estimated cost to the City would be $13,000 $15,000 plus
$600 -$800 for the voter pamphlet.
General Election 2011
Election cost: $8,800 to $9,200
(This cost is for our elected official races and will not increase with the addition of an
Advisory Vote)
Voters' Pamphlet cost (required for the General election): $600 to $800
(Added cost of $300 -$500 for the additional voter pamphlet page for an Advisory Vote)
February Spring Special 2012
The following costs would be incurred to add the Advisory Vote to this Election.
Election cost: $13,000 to $15,000
Voters' Pamphlet cost (voluntary for the Spring Special election): $600 to $800
King County emphasized these are ESTIMATED costs, particularly the February 2012 election.
