initial positions are established in the bureau, and the sum of <br />$669,000 is hereby appropriated to the Divsion of Elections from the <br />General Revenue fund for purpose of carrying out the provisions of this <br />act. <br />Objection: Rather than creating such a far reaching bureau at one time, <br />perhaps it would be more effective and less expensive to make a gradual <br />approach. This would allow the Division of Elections and the supervisors <br />of elections to absorb the changes and new rules gradually, to analyze <br />the value to the voters and to the administration of elections in each <br />county. There will have to be a corresponding increase in the number <br />of employees in the supervisors of elections' offices to deal with the <br />additional requirements by the Department of State and the Divison of <br />Elections. <br />THERE IS NO 14ENTION OF THE FISCAL IMPACT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed Supervisor Robinson has <br />clearly set out that there is significant impact that has not <br />been well thought out in these proposed Bills as well as an <br />infringement on local government. He agreed that we should send <br />the message that we do object and request that these Bills not <br />move forward. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, to adopt Resolution 89-44 express- <br />ing our opposition to House Bill 1529 and Senate Bill <br />499 relating to elections. <br />Chairman Wheeler suggested that a copy of this Resolution, <br />including Mrs. Robinson's statement, be sent to the League of <br />Counties who are opposing state mandates without funding, and <br />also copies to the Senate and the House, with a copy to the <br />Governor and whoever the appropriate committee people are as well <br />as our delegates. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />41 <br />1989 (�OGK �� F.1GE 76P <br />
