This agreement between the City of Round Rock (City), acting
by and through its Council and the Round Rock Independent School
District (School), acting by and through its Board of Trustees,
is as follows:

School hereby agree to hold a joint election on May 6, 1989,
for the purpose of electing members to the City Council and
School Board of Trustees.
II.

officers for each polling place in the City of Round Rock will be
appointed to conduct the joint election.

The School will initially bear the cost of salaries for the
election officers and related expenses. The City will then reim-
burse the School for its pro rata share of such expenses based
upon the proportion of votes cast in joint boxes. In other
words, if 1,000 votes were cast in the City election and 2,000
votes were cast in the School election, then the City would pay
one -third (1/3) of the cost of the election officers and related
expenses.

SUBJECT: Council Agenda, February 23, 1989
ITEM: 9B. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter
into an agreement with the Round Rock Independent
School District for a joint City /School Election on
May 6, 1989.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joanne Land
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolution.
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
This resolution will allow the Mayor to enter
into a contract with the Round Rock Independent
School District for a joint City /School election
May 6, 1989. This is the same type arrangement
we have had for the last several years. Staff
feels this is the most economical way to hold these
elections and easiest on the voters since they can
vote at only one location for both the City Council
and School Board elections.
