OBJECTIVE: To obtain authorization to accept funds from the Department of State, Division of Elections, for additional federal election activities beyond the Supervisor of Elections' current programs, for the Board to have its Chairman to sign the Certificate Regarding Matching Funds (see Attachment "A -2 to Memorandum of Agreement "), and to authorize any necessary budget amendments to receive those funds.

This matching contribution was included in the Supervisor of Elections 2011/2012 budget. FISCAL IMPACT: The County will incur a fiscal impact of $6,837.36, which constitutes the required matching contribution necessary for the Collier County Supervisor of Elections to receive the $45,582.39 from the Division of Elections. The funds received will be appropriated in the Supervisor of Elections budget with definitive project tracking. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for approval —SRT.
