In plain language — from agenda source text
This is housekeeping for the November 3 charter amendment election \u2014 Council amends the original election ordinance to bolt on the final logistical details: the locked-in early voting schedule, English and Spanish versions of the election call, lists of election day and early voting polling places, the signed contracts and joint election agreements with other local entities, and the rosters of election judges, central counting station staff, and early voting ballot board members. These attachments are the paperwork that makes the election legally run, which is why the item carries an emergency declaration to take effect immediately. Funding is available in the City Clerk's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating Budget.
