Reco
mmended Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing the use of Alga Norte Community Park Meeting Room 301, Calavera Community Park Activity Room, 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 2025 Statewide Special Election.

Executive Summary
Staff received a notification from the San Diego Registrar of Voters Office on Aug. 12, 2025, requesting use of Alga Norte Community Park Meeting Room 301, Calavera Community Park Activity Room, 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 2025 Statewide Special Election.

Staff are requesting the City Council’s approval for the use of these locations.

Explanation & Analysis
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the transition to the Voter’s Choice Act model in 2021. 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.

Docusign Envelope ID: 222A15FC-050E-4196-970F-EBADFE27A278 Docusign Envelope ID: D1658861-E3E0-47CE-826E-651591D85A73 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 section, the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters is requesting the use of the following city facilities as polling places for the 2025 Statewide Special Election:
• Alga Norte Community Park – Meeting Room 301, 6565 Alicante Road • Calavera Community Park – Activity Room, 2997 Glasgow Drive • Pine Avenue Community Center – Activity Room, 3209 Harding St. • Stagecoach Community Center – Activity Room, 3420 Camino De Los Coches The vote center locations must be made available as follows:

Friday, Oct. 24 – Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025 Delivery of supplies date range Friday, Oct. 31, 2025, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Set up
Saturday, Nov. 1 – Monday Nov. 3, 2025, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Early voting days Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Last day of voting Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Break-down
Wednesday, Nov. 5 – Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025 Supplies pick-up date range In a
ddition, 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 Alga Norte Community Park Meeting Room 301, Calavera Hills Community Center Activity Room, Pine Avenue Community Center Activity Room and Stagecoach Community Center Activity Room for the special election 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.

Additionally, Section 4(a) of Senate Bill No. 280, the legislation by which the Legislature called the 2025 Statewide Special Election, states the Legislature’s intent to ensure counties have sufficient funding to carry out the election. Funds are to be appropriated from the state General Fund to the state Controller for the actual and reasonably necessary costs, as determined by the state Director of Finance, for counties to conduct the 2025 Statewide Special Election.

Next Steps
Staff will provide the necessary parks and facilities use application to the Registrar of Voters for completion.

Environmental Evaluation
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.
