RESOLUTION NO. 91-24
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas finds that
a joint or common election to elect City officials and officials of the Birdville Independent
School District would be beneficial to the School District and to the various cities within the
boundaries of the Birdville Independent School District for the following reasons:
a. A joint election would promote a larger voter turn-out than elections held
separately;
b. The total cost of holding the elections would be less;
c. It would be a distinct advantage to each voter to be able to cast his or her
vote in one polling place rather than being forced to travel to separate polling
places in order to participate in both elections.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS, that:
1.
This Council does hereby go on record in support of holding joint City-School Board
elections.
2.
This Council pledges its support to coordinate and work out plans for such joint
elections with the Birdville Independent School District and each of the municipalities lying
within the School District boundaries.
3.
The City Secretary, as Chief Election Officer of the City, is hereby appointed as the
coordinator for this City and such officer is directed to cooperate with the officials of
Birdville Independent School District and other municipalities within the District in order
to establish a plan by which joint elections may be held.
