PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to authorize the Orange County Board of Elections the option of hosting voting at the recently donated Bim Street property or in Council Chambers.
body
DEPARTMENT: Town Clerk
CONTACT INFORMATION: Cathy Dorando
INFORMATION: The Town recently received the donation of the Bim Street building from the Carrboro Civic Club. During early internal discussions on the possible uses of the building, staff thought that it would be a great location for voting. This would open up the Council Chambers and allow the Town Council to continue to meet onsite during early voting.
The Orange County Elections Director toured the building last week and said that it is a perfect location to host voting.
The attached resolution does not guarantee that the space will be used but will allow us to offer both the Town Hall Council Chambers and the Bim Street Community Building as places to vote in Carrboro. There would only be one location that is chosen.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Town Council approve the resolution.
