Adopt a resolution authorizing the use of the Calavera Hills Community Center Activity Room, Alga Norte Community Park Meeting Room 301 (General Election only), Pine Avenue Community Center Activity Room and Stagecoach Community Center Activity Room as vote center locations and waiving any associated fees for their use in the 2024 Primary and General Elections.
Executive Summary
On May 22, 2023, staff received a notification from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters Office requesting use of the Calavera Hills Community Center Activity Room, Alga Norte Community Park Meeting Room 301 (General Election only), Pine Avenue Community Center Activity Room and Stagecoach Community Center Activity Room as vote center locations for the 2024 primary and general elections.
Staff are requesting the City Council’s approval for the use of these locations.
Explanation & Analysis
On Oct. 19, 2021, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the transition to the Voter’s Choice Act model. The California Voter’s Choice Act was intended to modernize elections in the state by letting counties conduct elections under a model that provides greater flexibility and convenience for voters. As part of this change, vote centers replaced traditional neighborhood polling places. Voters can visit these centers to vote, register and vote the same day, drop off their ballots, vote with an accessible voting machine or receive help and voting materials in multiple languages.

Item #6 Page 1 of 11
California Elections Code Section 12283(b)(2) states, “If a ... county elections official specifically requests the use of a ... public building for polling places, or vote centers beginning up to 10 days before the election and continuing through election day, as well as during key dates necessary for drop-off, set-up and pick-up of election materials, as determined by the elections official, the governing body having jurisdiction over the particular ... public building shall allow its use for the purpose requested.”
In keeping with that code section, the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters is requesting the use of the following city facilities as polling places for both the 2024 primary and general elections:
• Calavera Community Park – Activity Room, 2997 Glasgow Drive • Alga Norte Community Park – Meeting Room 301, 6565 Alicante Road (General Election only)
• Pine Avenue Community Center – Activity Room, 3209 Harding Street • Stagecoach Community Center – Activity Room, 3420 Camino De Los Coches For the 2024 primary election, vote center locations must be made available as follows:
Calavera Hills
Community Center
Activity Room
11 days from Saturday, Feb. 23, 2024, through Monday, Feb. 4, 2024, from 7:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. and on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, from 6:15 a.m. until 11 p.m.

For the 2024 general election, vote center locations must be made available as follows:
Calavera Hills
Community Center
Activity Room
11 days from Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024, through Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, from 7:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. and on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, from 6:15 a.m. until 11 p.m.

is expanded timeframe allows for the Registrar of Voters to drop off materials, conduct training, set up voting devices, breakdown and pick up all materials.

Item #6 Page 2 of 11
In addition, the Registrar of Voters is requesting the use of eight tables, 12 chairs and access to five duplex electrical outlets.
Fiscal Analysis
California Elections Code Section 12283(b)(1) allows the city to provide these facilities for the Registrar of Voter’s use without cost to the county. Providing use of the Calavera Hills Community Center Activity Room, Alga Norte Community Park Meeting Room 301, Pine Avenue Community Center Activity Room and Stagecoach Community Center Activity Room for the primary and general elections will result in a decrease in revenue generated from the day-to- day use of these facilities. Because of the nature of the programming and incidental use, staff are unable to determine an accurate fiscal impact at this time.
Next Steps
Staff will provide the necessary parks and facilities use application to the Registrar of Voters for completion.
Environmental Eval
uation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
