MR. SCHUTTE : What are the legal implications <br /> if we did have to cancel the election date, as far as time <br /> is concerned? <br /> MR. LEGASPI : We' ll have to set up a new <br /> proclamation and I think we ' ll have to give at least 45 days <br /> for that. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE : In the meantime, we have got this <br /> expense of the computer that was brought in from the mainland <br /> to take care of the balloting. <br /> MR. LEGASPI : Yes, that ' s right. I would say <br /> we have spent about 75% of the budget. <br /> MR. ISHIDA: What kind of figures are we talking <br /> about? <br /> MR. LEGASPI : Additional salaries of workers for, <br /> whatever, two months. Reprinting of the ballots. Whether we <br /> can get a legal opinion of whether we can use the same ballots <br /> because they are dated. The ballot costs are $9 thousand dollars <br /> so far. So it will run, I would say, another $20 thousand <br /> dollars, if we postpone it. <br /> MR. TRULSON: We would also be talking about <br /> the inserts we have, that ' s dated. We 're talking another quite <br /> a few thousand dollars. We can possibly be looking at a <br /> $50 thousand dollar additional cost to the county. <br /> Another question I have. . .say this strike goes <br /> on Monday, ` has,- your office the power to cancel the election <br /> at any given date? Say that the strike goes on and the election <br /> is not cancelled and you see that by November 1 that it is not <br /> going to be settled by the 3rd, could your office then cancel <br /> the election? <br /> MR. LEGASPI : I ' ll have to check into that, Bud, <br /> I don ' t know whether I have that authority to cancel the election <br /> or not. <br /> MR. TRULSON: I was trying to interpret the <br /> Charter, and I don 't know, I can ' t answer the question either, <br /> but it seems that once we have submitted everything to the County <br /> Clerk ' s office, then it ' s in his hands as far as the election. <br /> I can ' t see in here any interpretation as to whether or not you <br /> can stop it. I don 't think it has ever been envisioned, before, <br /> that it would have to be stopped. <br /> MR. LEGASPI : You're right. I don ' t know the <br /> answer to that question. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE : Rudy, you know, -that 45 day portion, <br /> since we 've already gone through that once. . .do we still have to <br /> redo that again? <br /> -9- <br />
