SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPOINTING A MEMBER TO THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS
SUMMARY
This Resolution appoints one individual to complete the four-year term expiring June 1, 2018.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None
BACKGROUND
On May 27, 2014 City Council appointed Don DiFatta to the Board of Elections for a four-year term
expiring on June 1, 2018, subject to removal as provided by Resolution No. 2644 of the City
Council, passed and approved August 24, 1970.
Resolution No. 2644
Section 1:
If any member of a board of commission appointed by this Council shall absent himself
from three (3) consecutive regular meetings of the board of commission, such office is
automatically declared vacant.
Due to a serious illness, it was necessary for Mr. DiFatta to absent himself from duly called
meetings of the Board of Elections held on October 8, 2015, November 10, 2015 and November
13, 2015.
Because the position was automatically declared vacant, an advertisement was published in The
Pueblo Chieftain on January 10, 2016 and a notice on the City Clerk’s webpage, seeking
volunteers to fill the vacancy.
Mr. DiFatta has indicated that he wishes to continue as Council’s Representative on the Board of
Elections and complete his term expiring June 1, 2018. One additional application was received
from Alvin D. Rivera
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Members of the Board of Elections are paid $25.00 per meeting attended. Funding for this stipend
are allocated in the Budget of the City Clerk’s Office; therefore no new funding is necessary.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
None
ALTERNATIVES
Do not make an appointment and direct Staff to re-advertise for additional applications.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution
