On January 8, 2002, the Orange County Board of Supervisors initiated a <br />program in which County employees volunteer to serve as poll workers on <br />Election Day. Its primary objective is to ensure that poll locations <br />throughout Orange County are staffed with a sufficient number of trained <br />poll workers. <br /> <br />B. On September 1, 2004, the County of Orange Registrar of Voters <br />requested that the City of Santa Ana release City employees on <br />November 2, 2004, in order to allow them to volunteer as poll workers on <br />Election Day at polling stations in Orange County. The City complied with <br />this request. <br /> <br />C. The County of Orange Registrar of Voters is again requesting that the City <br />of Santa Ana release City employees on June 6, 2006, to allow the <br />employees to volunteer as poll workers at polling stations for the State <br />Primary election. <br /> <br />Section 2: In the interest of upholding its civic responsibilities and in reflection <br />of its position as the largest city in Orange County and the County seat for all <br />government operations, the City Council hereby authorizes the City manager to develop <br />policies and procedures that allow for the release of City employees on Election Day to <br />act as volunteer poll workers for the County at polling locations in Orange County. All <br />work releases shall be voluntary and employees will receive their normal salary for the <br />day released without regard to the actual hours the employee spends acting as a <br />volunteer. Employees shall also be released for any mandatory training required of <br />volunteer poll workers. <br /> <br />Section 3: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by <br />the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting <br />this Resolution. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2006-017 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
