<br />All the Commissioners gave assurances that they are working through the Florida <br />Association of Counties and are very actively pursuing the Legislature to have courts fully <br />funded. <br /> <br />8.B. SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS KAY CLEM – PRECINCT <br />BOUNDARY CHANGES – PAPER RECEIPTS COMMENTS <br /> <br />Supervisor of Elections Kay Clem reviewed her memorandum of January 26, 2004. <br /> She also advised that another annexation was received yesterday. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Neuberger, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved <br />the precinct boundary changes as presented and requested <br />by Supervisor of Elections Kay Clem. <br /> <br />Mrs. Clem then addressed the issue of paper receipts that surfaced recently at the <br />state level. She explained in detail why she believed our county should not consider <br />providing paper receipts. Her recommendation included information as to how it might be <br />done and the estimated additional costs. She specified that the brand of election machines <br />in Indian River County has safeguards against blank ballots. She urged the Board to contact <br />our Legislators so that this will not be another unfunded state mandate that, in our county, <br />is unnecessary. She urged the Board not to listen to the proponents of paper receipts <br />because our touch screen machines have performed in elections without question or <br />difficulty. It will be an issue with the Legislators and she hoped the Commissioners would <br />support her department with the Florida Association of Counties. <br />Commissioners agreed that Indian River County has a great system. <br /> <br />February 3, 2004 18 <br /> <br />
