Approval of Changing the Polling Location for Precinct #3 from
Discovery United Methodist Church to St. Hubert Church
The polling location for Precinct 3 (southern Chanhassen), has been at
Discovery United Methodist Church, 275 Lake Drive East for many years. The
space is quite small, but has worked adequately over the years. With the
anticipated growth in this precinct, staff believes that voting will outgrow thIS
location very soon. In discussing thIS with the County Auditor, we both agreed
that it would be better to move the precinct before the new developments get
underway.
State law requires that polling places be located within the precinct boundary or
wIthin 3,000 feet of the boundary line if no space can be found within the
precinct. In reviewing options for moving the precinct, staff contacted St.
Hubert's Church requesting permission to use their space. They will allow us to
use their Fellowship Hall, which will provide ample space for years to come. It
is not located within the precinct boundary (neither was Discovery United
Methodist Church), but is within 3,000 feet of the boundary line.
State law also requires that if a precinct is moved, it must be done before
June 151 of an election year and that all affected households receive written
notice of the change. The Carver County Auditor's office would send out this
notification.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff recommends that the polling location for Precinct 3 be moved from
Discovery United Methodist Church, 275 Lake Drive East to St. Hubert Church,
8201 Main Street. Staff will also work with the County Auditor so that proper
notification is mailed to affected voters prior to June 151. Approval of this item
requires a simple majority vote of those City Council members present.
