CITY OF LIVONIA, MICHIGAN
A meeting of the Election Commission of the City of Livonia, Michigan, was held on Wednesday July 26, 2023, at the Livonia City Hall, 33000 Civic Center Drive, Livonia, Michigan at 3:00
p.m., at which time and place the following members of said Commission were present:
Present: Paul Bernier, City Attorney
Susan Nash, City Clerk
Maureen Miller Brosnan, Mayor
Also Present: Lori L. Miller, Deputy Clerk
Susan Nash assumed the duties as Chairperson of the Election Commission.
Chairperson Nash indicated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the implementation of Early Voting site(s) following the adoption of Proposal 22-2 in November, 2022, and where to
locate a central polling site within the community. Nash indicated she has considered using the following City buildings: Civic Center Library, the old Chamber building located next
to Sam’s Restaurant on Five Mile Road, and the Housing office located on Farmington Road, south of Plymouth. Commissioner Brosnan indicated she felt the Housing office on Farmington
Road was probably the best location as it already has security cameras on the building, is ADA compliant, has its’ own parking lot, and has a large open space where the tabulators and
precinct could be set up.
Chairperson Nash explained according to the adopted legislation, the Early Voting site must be open for nine (9) days, minimum of eight (8) hours each day, prior to all elections starting
in February, 2024. Nash stated she considered consolidating precincts moving forward on a permanent basis and it has been highly recommended by the Finance Director to do so. Nash
explained this would create incredible cost-savings for the City moving forward with elections but indicated she would leave this to the newly elected Clerk. Nash explained once precincts
are consolidated and polling locations are affected, all voters must be notified and provided new voter registration cards which is an additional cost to the Election budget not planned
for at this time.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Bernier, supported by Commissioner Brosnan, and unanimously adopted, it was:
