BACKGROUND: Virginia Code § 24.2 - 307 requires that the Board of Supervisors establish voting precincts and polling places by ordinance. Albemarle County Code § 2-105(B)(2) establishes the Cale voting precinct, and § 2-105(C)(2) establishes the Cale Elementary School as the polling place for the Cale voting precinct, in the Scottsville Magisterial District. The name of Cale Elementary School will be changed to Mountain View Elementary School, effective July 1, 2020.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Quality government operations: ensure county government’s capacity to provide high quality service that achieves community priorities.
DISCUSSION: The name of the Cale voting precinct, and of the polling place for that voting precinct, will need to be changed to reflect the new name of the school: Mountain View Elementary School. The geographic boundaries of the voting precinct and the physical location of the polling place are unchanged. The County Attorney has prepared the attached proposed ordinance (Attachment A) to reflect this change of the voting precinct and polling place location names in County Code Chapter 2, Administration, Article I, Elections, Section 2-105, Scottsville Magisterial District, effective July 1, 2020.
BUDGET IMPACT: The adoption of the proposed ordinance will have no budget impact.
