4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF MAJOR ISSUES: (This is a snap shot description of the agenda item)
I have received input from residents both in support of relocation and opposing relocation. Since the informal
poll was close and considering the costs to temporarily relocate a polling place, I recommend leaving the
polling place at the Recreation Center. This would have the least amount of impact on residents and the
Clerk's Office could suggest voting by absentee ballots for residents who do not wish to visit the poll.

MEMORANDUM
Village of Tequesta
Clerk's Office
TO: Mr. Michael R. Couzzo, Jr., Village Manager
Honorable Mayor and Village Council Members
FROM: Lori McWilliams, Village Clerk
DATE: September 4, 2009
SUBJECT: March 2010 Municipal Election
With construction of the Tequesta Drive Bridge scheduled to begin on January 4, 2010 and the Village
election to be held on March 10, 2010, consideration must be given to the location of the polling place
for precinct 1072 (west of the bridge). The usual polling place has been at Tequesta Recreation Center
and has approximately 1,500 registered voters. In order to garner resident input, an informal opinion
poll was placed on the Village website for a month. The poll was as follows:
Please take a moment to tell us how you feel about leaving the polling place at the
Tequesta Recreation Center during construction or temporarily relocating the polling
place to the west side of the bridge. Email comments to: Imcwilliamst'a~teauesta.ora.
Questions:
• Leave the polling place at the Recreation Center - I prefer to vote at same location
• Relocate the polling place to some location on the west side of the Bridge as a
temporary solution
Results:
• Leave the polling place 23 votes 44.2%
• Relocate polling place 29 votes 55.8%
Options:
1. Leave the polling place at the Tequesta Recreation Center. Residents would not be
inconvenienced by a temporary move and would vote in the same location as past elections.
2. Relocate polling place 1072 to the west side of the bridge. This option would require a large
enough venue and support from a location such as the Country Club or Presbyterian Church.
Contact has not been made with the two entities.
Recommendation: I have received input from residents both in support of relocation and
opposing relocation. Since the informal poll was close and considering the costs to temporarily
relocate a polling place, I recommend leaving the polling place at the Recreation Center. This
would have the least amount of impact on residents and the Clerk's Office could suggest
voting by absentee ballots for residents who do not wish to visit the poll.
