Motion by Kokoski, seconded by Kalo to adopt Resolution. Ayes: Kokoski & Kalo / Absent: Blair out sick. Motion carried. ______f COMMISSIONERS REPORT Commissioner Kokoski asked Jose Candalerio, Director, Lorain County Board of Elections to discuss his account situation. Jose Candalerio said the Election board met last night to approve the final calculation of costs and presented a estimated request of additional funds of $92,000 for general election; $50,000 for special recall election; $30,000 special election in February equaling around $172,000 which is chargeable to the subdivisions. He presented a printout of total expenses for the 2009 general equaling $297,910.69 which includes under all other expenses, employee overtime of $61,861.31; new line item since 2007 under ORC 305.07, allowing these expenses to be included as a charge back to subdivisions which occur in odd number of election years. Currently there are two jurisdictions for February special; Amherst Library District held in the 22 precinct of Amherst School District and Columbia School District. The other document presented is the apportionment of primary election expenses of May 5, 2009 equaling $251,359.82, chargeable to the subdivisions. Commissioner Kokoski said the Elections Board needs around $297,910.69 as an advance to be paid back when. Mr. Candalerio said not sure with tax settlements. County Administrator Cordes said is this all an advance. Mr. Candalerio said yes, funds are paid from general fund. County Administrator Cordes said if these funds are advanced and realize the payins go into the general fund will this be recouped. Mr. Candalerio said yes. Commissioner Kokoski said Elyria will pay back the amount for special election, as will the other. Mr. Candalerio said yes. Commissioner Kalo said there is HB260 where the subdivisions will have to pay in advance rather than the county taking from general fund.. Mr. Candalerio said he hopes soon. County Administrator Cordes said or hold from local government funds. Commissioner Kalo asked Craig Snodgrass, Auditors’ Office how the county gets reimbursed. Mr. Snodgrass said the county incurs the expense and it is taken from the settlement and reduced the local government fund. Commissioner Kalo said the request of $297,000+, would this be billed out now or split. Mr. Snodgrass said this depends on when the Board of Elections sends the paperwork into the Auditor’s office. County Administrator Cordes asked Mr. Candalerio if the subdivisions have been notified, Mr. Candalerio said the costs were finalized in the last 24-48 hours. County Administrator Cordes asked if this had to be done this week. Mr. Candalerio said it would be difficult to procure if it does not get done.
