Approve Resolution Appointing Election Judges and Establishing
Rates of Pay for 2002 Elections
State law requires that the City Council adopt a resolution appointing judges for the
upcoming elections and establishing their rates of pay. This information must be
submitted to the County Auditor by August 15th. We are still in the process of contacting
judges and the list will not be available until Monday. The list will be distributed to you
on Monday evening.
This year we have established the position of Assistant Head Judge. This position will
be trained to assist the Head Judge, but will also be able to step in if for some reason a
Head Judge is unable to carry out their duties (illness, etc.). Additionally, the Head
Judge in Precinct 6 (Shelia McSherry) has filed for the County Auditor's office. Ms.
McSherry will be able to serve as a Head Judge in the primary election; however, she
cannot serve in any capacity at the General Election. The Assistant Head Judge will
have to move into that position for the General Election. This will also apply to Precinct
3, as Ms. McSherry's sister is the Head Judge in this location and state law prohibits the
sibling of a candidate to serve as a judge.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is still in the process of recruiting judges and will present a final list on Monday
evening. It will be recommended that the council approve the list of judges for the fall
elections on September l0th and November 5th and that the rates of pay be established as
follows:
Head Election Judges
Assistant Head Judges
Election Judges
$9/hour
$8/hour
$7/hour
Additionally, Joanne Meuwissen is assisting me with some of the organizational
responsibilities for the election and it is recommended that her rate of pay be $11/hour.
These are the same rates the city has paid since the 1996 elections, with the exception of
the new Assistant Head Judge positions.
