Lake Worth requests Special Election

Pam:

I find it unfortunate that we are unable to conduct the City of Lake Worth's Special Election on May 12, 2015 while we are working on the Village of North Palm's Special Election. 

As you are aware, it takes months for our office to prepare for any election. Because this is an off election year, we have many maintenance and other projects already on our calendar.

We have looked at our calendar for Aug. 25, 2015, and our key personnel will not be available during that week; therefore, please provide an alternate date. Thank you.

Unfortunately, we have been notified that a Councilman from North Palm Beach has passed away and they will require a Special Election on May 12, 2015.

I am in receipt of your request of February 13, 2015 requesting consent for an August 25, 2015 Special Election.

Since we will be making our books available on May 12th for North Palm Beach, and there is plenty of time for noticing, would the City of Lake Worth consider having their Special Election on May 12, 2015, in order to minimize your costs and share expenses with North Palm?
