Fiscal Note
This resolution amends the 2006 Operating Budget to allow the Clerk's Office to hire an additional six hourly employees for the period of August 1 through December 1. Total costs of $51,402 associated with this staffing increase are to be absorbed internally by recognition of anticipated salary savings and related benefits. Funding for increased hourly and overtime wages is therefore derived from a transfer from permanent salaries and benefits. No additional appropriation is necessary. This is no anticipated impact upon cost controls.

Body
WHEREAS the Madison City Clerk's Office will need to maintain two separate voter registration programs for the September 12, 2006, and November 7, 2006, Elections because the Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS) is not yet able to process absentee ballots for the City of Madison; and

WHEREAS the mandatory use of SVRS has multiplied by five the amount of time it takes to process a voter registration application; and

WHEREAS the processing of voter registration applications must be done in a timely manner to ensure that all registered voters are included on the City of Madison poll list; and
