STAFF REPORT
Each year the City Clerk's Office has a greater difficulty
locating and retaining polling places and election officers. One
of the reasons for refusal is that the job does not pay enough
for the work that is required. We get refusals on polling places
because people are more and more reluctant to having outsiders
coming into their homes and because the $30.00 they receive would
not even "cover the cost of cleaning".
The inspector is the person who is in charge of the polling
place. He or she must come to a training class at City Hall,
pick up election supplies, set up the polling places, supervise
the polling place, and bring back the returns to City Hall on
election night. For all of this, they receive $40.00. The
assistant board workers who are referred to as judges and clerks,
receive $35.00. They each put in a 14-15 hour day.
This pay has been in effect since December 7, 1981.
We would like to raise the pay as follows:
Inspectors
Clerks/Judges
Polling places
$60.00
45.00
45.00
Our next election is the primary of 1991. This raise in pay
would cost the city a total of $6,500. ($65.00 per board)
San Bernardino County is proposing a similar increase. Below are
some comparisons of what is paid in other counties:
