Home My WebLink AboutA005 - Email from County Auditor regarding date for submitting materials Page 1 of 1 calendar for special election Lucinda J. Martin to: dvoss@city.ames.ia.us 11/20/2013 03:58 PM Show Details Diane- I read my Iowa Code sections and double-checked with the SOS office. If any of this contradicts previous information, please use this email, not earlier statements. For a public measure special election to be held on March 4, the City of Ames needs to file a full text of the public measure in my office no later than 5 pm on the forty-sixth day before the election (Friday,January 17, 2014) [§47.6 (3)(a)]. Since there are no special election dates available before March 4, 2014, the City can submit the materials any time between now and January 17. Please include the proposed date (March 4) of the election as well as a copy of the council's action (resolution, minutes). I will have some better number of the cost of vote centers soon. Costs of elections vary due to the number of absentee ballots, satellite voting (if petitioned), etc. but I can give you a general estimate.

I checked with Warren Madden and he has no problems with the recommended wording. Please go ahead and send the text of the resolution to Diane Voss. Also, I have no problem leaving off any reference to G.O. Bonds from the wording, as you have already proposed. Thanks, � L Steve (Embedded image moved to file: pic20705.gif) Steven L. Schainker City Manager 515.239.5101 main] 515.239.5142 fax sschainker@city.ames.ia.usl City Hall, 515 Clark Avenue I Ames, IA 50010 - Caring People - Quality Programs - Exceptional Service - From: <Josten.Robert@dorsey.com> To: <sschainker@city.ames.ia.us>, <dpitcher@city.ames.ia.us> Date: 11/21/2013 02 :19 PM Subject: Proposed ballot language I believe this incorporates Steve' s language, along with the concept of joint ownership. Shall the City of Ames, in Story County, Iowa, issue its bonds in an amount not exceeding $19, 000, 000 for the purpose of paying one-half of the cost of constructing a multi-use convention facility located at the Iowa State University Center, to be jointly owned by the City and Iowa State University, and of renovating the Iowa State University Scheman Building? If you agree, I will put this into a resolution and send it to Diane and to you this afternoon. By the way, the state law does not require that we use the words "general obligation" bonds, but we may add those words, if you wish. Robert E.
