CCD 2001-01 CALLING REFERENDUM ELECTION FOR CONTINUATION
OF CRIME CONTROL & PREVENTION DISTRICT - CCD RESOLUTION NO. 2001-A
Mayor advised that the Board needed to make a motion regarding the City Manager's
recommendation and recommendation made by the City Council at their 7:00 p.m. meeting on
January 8, 2001.
Board Member Mitchell moved, seconded by Board Member Trevino, to approve referendum
of election for the continuation of Crime District as proposed by the City Council.
The Mayor asked the City Manager to summarize the resolution and the approach of the City
in regards to the election.
City Manager Cunningham reported to the Board that the City Council had approved a
resolution requesting the Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors to order a
referendum on the continuation of the district for a period of ten years. The Council is asking
that the election be held at the earliest possible date before June 30, 2001. Mr. Cunningham
advised that Staff would prefer a February election date, but if February is not possible, as
early as possible prior to June 30, 2001. The Board was advised that in the Fall of 2000 staff
conferred with the State about a late February election date. The State concurred with a
February date. Subsequently Staff wanted further assurances from the State on the election
date since this was not a uniform election date. Staff has further requested State's
consideration of this matter. Within the next ten days Staff anticipates a determination as to
whether February is an available date or if it should be some other date. If it can be a
February date then another CCD Board meeting will be set to request an election order. If the
election cannot be in February, then the CCD Board will be asked to meet within the next thirty
to forty-five days to order the election. Staff recommends, as Council has already indicated,
approval for an election under this arrangement.
There being no further discussion, motion prevailed by the following vote:
Aye: 7 votes
No: 0 votes
