• • <br />additional costs for the extra hours. We need to have additional funds allocated <br />to our budget for that purpose. <br />We had additional overtime for staff, extra pay for pollworkers and field <br />representatives, extra hours for law enforcement and election night temporary <br />employees as well as sandwiches for all pollworkers Some of our polling places <br />required additional fees to cover security personnel. We are still contacting those <br />facilities to determine our final costs. <br />We have not been able to put our full attention on gathering the costs since last <br />Tuesday as we have been making sure we were prepared for a statewide <br />recount should that occur. I will complete our review of the costs by late this <br />afternoon and have it in your mailboxes and will email a copy to you. <br />Supervisor of Elections Kay Clem thanked the Board for allowing her office to <br />purchase the right equipment on a timely basis thus giving her the right tools for the <br />September primary election. Their cooperation aided her office in avoiding the election <br />turmoil experienced by the Supervisors of Elections in Miami -Dade and Broward Counties. <br />She then reviewed the information contained in her memorandum of September 16, 2002 <br />as follows: TO: All County Commissioners <br />FROM: Kay Clem <br />RE: Budget Amendment <br />DATE: September 16, 2002 <br />Our preliminary estimates of the cost for extending our polling place hours were <br />low The total additional funds needed are $19 516. However when I requested <br />additional funds from you last week, 1 requested that you roll back into my budget <br />the revenues we collected from the city elections We have additional revenues <br />we had planned to turned back to you for lists, labels and interest of $9,516. <br />Therefore we are requesting an additional $10,000 from the county coffers to <br />cover the mandate from the Governor to extend our polling hours. <br />These costs include additional pay for pollworkers; additional pay for election <br />night help; additional pay for our Canvassing Board Attorney and court reporter; <br />additional pay for our field representatives, additional pay for law enforcement <br />officers; sandwiches for pollworkers; overtime pay for my staff; additional charges <br />from polling places for rent and additional security for their facilities <br />Again, we request an additional $19,516 of which $9,516 can be offset by <br />revenues collected by the Supervisor of Ejections office. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />September 17, 2002 <br />49 <br />
