Consequently, in order to give the Village Council sufficient time to make arrangements for the Municipal Election, scheduled to be held on March 11, 1997, I request that you "add-on" the attached Resolution to the January 9, 1997, Village Council Meeting Agenda for consideration by the Village Council. This Resolution was prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of the Village of Tequesta Code of Ordinances. The Resolution designates polling locations, election officials, inspectors of election, and establishes procedures in the event that it becomes necessary to conduct a Municipal Election on Tuesday, March 11, 1997, and a Municipal Run-Off Election on Tuesday, March 25, 1997. Also, for your information, the filing period for the March 11, 1997, Municipal Election is from noon Tuesday, January 28, 1997, to noon Tuesday, February 11, 1997. Additionally, please note that the Resolution designates the new polling location for Tequesta Precinct 014, i.e., the Tequesta Recreation Center, 399 Seabrook Road. Upon adoption of this Resolution by the Village Council, I will forward a certified copy of the same to the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office. The Supervisor of Elections Office will, subsequently, mail new Voter Registration Cards to all registered voters residing in Tequesta Precinct 014 denoting the new polling location and address, in due time, for the scheduled Municipal Election.
