The City of Glendale Special Bond Election is scheduled for May 15, 2007. Exhibit A, Resolution No. 4013, New Series calls for a Special Bond Elections to submit to the qualified electors five ballot questions on authorizing the issuance and sale of bonds of the city to provide funds in specified amounts for enumerated public purpose. Exhibit B Resolution 4025, New Series, sets forth the location of polls places and lists voter information. Both resolutions are in English and Spanish. These resolutions are published in both languages for two consecutive weeks in the local newspaper, the Glendale Star. Pre-Clearance 2006 Primary and General Elections On September 12, 2006 and November 7, 2006, the City of Glendale conducted Primary and General Elections. A copy of U.S. Justice Department letter of July 18, 2006 stating no objection to the elections included as Exhibit C. The City of Glendale contracted with Maricopa County for election services such as space on their ballot, tabulation and polling places. Polling Places The May 15, 2007 Special Bond Election will have thirty polling places, with five in each of six districts. This is an increase of six polling places, one per district, from the last Special Election conducted on May 17, 2005. In the 2006 Primary and General, the City of Glendale candidates and propositions were on the Maricopa County. Maricopa County provided and precleared the polling places. The list of May 15, 2007 Special Bond Election polling places is included in Exhibit B, Resolution No. 4025, New Series; Exhibit D is the list of May 17, 2005 Special Election polling places. The City Clerk's Department has provided Maricopa County with a list of polling places. Our Service Agreement with Maricopa County requires them to inspect, provide equipment, election officials, and manage the polling places. Exhibit E is a copy of the City of Glendale Menu of Services agreement with Maricopa County. The City's Commission on Persons with Disabilities and the Hispanics for Better Education Committee will review the polling places The Chairperson for the Glendale Commission on Disabilities is Ms. Rickie Ray, (623) 915-2045 and the contact person for Hispanics for Better Education Committee is Mr.John Flores, (623) 937-0402. Voter Information The Arizona State Statues require Voter Information Pamphlets be mailed to every household with a registered voter. However, the City of Glendale will print and mail Voter's Informational Pamphlets to every registered voter in the city for the May 15, 2007 Special Election. Arizona voters passed a Proposition 200 approximately two years ago, which has been approved by the Justice Department, requiring voter identification at the polls. The mailing of the information pamphlet to every registered voter is not required but will provide the voter with an official election document, acceptable as identification at the polling place. This is a one-time additional expense to provide an easier transition for voters to meet the identification requirements. Annexations The U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division letters of no objection to the city's most recent annexations nos. 160 and 163 as well as the City's submittal letter to the Justice Department are Exhibit F, and Exhibit G is a Maricopa County map of City of Glendale's city districts and county precincts. 25.

The polling places that are * were not used in the last City election in 2005. All of the * polling places, with the exception of the Desert Heights Center School has been used by Maricopa County and/or the City in past elections. The Desert Heights Center School was inspected by Maricopa County and by the City of Glendale Disability Commission. All of our polling places were reviewed by Mr. John Flores, of the Hispanics for Better Education Committee. After this review, Mr. Flores indicated that the Hispanic Community in the downtown area usually voted at the Woman's Club which was not on the list. We had contacted the Woman's Club but the cost we were initially quoted was $250, which was more than double the cost we had budgeted or had paid in the past. We decided to utilize another facility in the downtown, the United Methodist Church. After hearing from Mr. Flores, we recontacted the Women's Club and were able to negotiate a lower price of$125. Resolution No. 4025, which was included in the original submittal and adopted by City Council, contained the United Methodist Church polling place. Please note, per Resolution No. 4025, the City Clerk "...is authorized to acquire a replacement and notify all interested parties" So, the polling place at the United Methodist Church was eliminated and changed to the Women's Club. The City Council was advised of the change. The change was made shortly after the City Council adoption so the corrected poll list including the Women's Club was included in the election advertising, web site and the Information Pamphlet mailed to every registered voter. I am including a copy of the polling place list and cover of the Information Pamphlet showing the Women's Club, Ocotillo District polling place, No. 20 listed. As you know, we have not received our letter of"no objection" from the Justice Department. I hope that after receiving this information, that you will fax at (623)463- 6678 the letter to me as the election is tomorrow. If you have any questions, please call me at(623) 930-2030.
