In order to allow the City of Colton to consolidate the special recall election with the June 3, <br />2008 Statewide Direct Primary Election the resolution calling the election must be submitted to <br />the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters (ROV) by March 7, 2008. The March 7, 2008 <br />deadline set by ROV allows the completion of the required steps as set by the Elections Code to <br />place items on the ballot. Should action be delayed past the March 7, 2008 deadline the election <br />would be a stand alone special recall election with an estimated cost of over $96,000. <br />Respectfully, the following resolutions are submitted for your consideration. <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON, CALIFORNIA, <br />CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE HOLDING OF A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL <br />RECALL ELECTION TO BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THE STATEWIDE DIRECT <br />PRIMARY ELECTION ON TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 2008, FOR THE SUBMISSION OF THE <br />QUESTIONS OF THE RECALL OF A CERTAIN OFFICER AND THE ELECTION OF <br />CANDIDATES TO FILL THE VACANCY IF THE RECALL PREVAILS. <br />2.
