CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Proposal to Have the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters
Office Take Responsibility For Recall Procedures
MEETING DATE: May 19, 1993
PREPARED BY: City Clerk
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council take action as deemed
necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 10, 1993, a message was received from Mr.
Adam Dados requesting that the City Clerk authorize
the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters to handle
the recall procedures for Council Members Davenport,
Pennino, Sieglock and Snider. Mr. George
Cunningham, Registrar of Voters, has offered to
handle the recall proceedings if we so choose (see
attached letter).
If the Council chooses to takes this option, it would need to adopt the attached
resolution delegating the duties and responsibilities of the recall procedure
to the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters. The City Clerk will then
forward all information on file to the County and they will take over from that
point.
FUNDING: The cost for the County Registrar of Voters Office to handle the
recall procedures is minimal and it would be in addition to the costs
of a Special Election which would code from the Election Account.

Re: Recall
G
Dear Mr. McNatt:
In the event the City of Lodi were to request the office of
the Registrar of Voters to perform the duties of the Lodi City
Clerk with regard to recall filings and elections, the office of
the Registrar of Voters would consent. The cost of receiving and
K processing the appropriate papers would be minimal.

The cost of checking signatures is an additional expense.
The cost of a special election is of course substantial.
b
FPPC filings should remain with the City Clerk.
Very truly y urs,
EOGE
