Support Measure Q - the 2008 school bond in Scotts Valley, California

The Santa Cruz County Elections Office bills each jurisdiction or agency with a measure on the ballot after the election, based on their fair share allocation of the total costs to conduct the election (printing the ballots, staffing the polling places, processing absentee ballot requests, and processing overall results).  While there are fewer measures on the June election schedule, there will also be far fewer voters. Taking these issues into account, the Elections Office estimates that the cost for the June election will be $2-$3 per registered voter, and the November election will be $1.50 - $2.50 per voter. Since the Scotts Valley School District has approximately 10,000 registered voters, the difference in the estimated cost for June vs. November is approximately $5,000.
