Executive Summary

requesting use of Alga Norte Community Park Meeting Room 301, Calavera Community Park
Activity Room, Pine Avenue Community Center Activity Room and Stagecoach Community
Center Activity Room as vote center locations and waiving any associated fees for their use in
the 2025 Statewide Special Election.
Staff are requesting the City Council’s approval for the use of these locations.
Explanation & Analysis
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the transition to the Voter’s Choice Act
model in 2021. The California Voter’s Choice Act was intended to modernize elections in the
state by letting counties conduct elections under a model that provides greater flexibility and
convenience for voters. As part of this change, vote centers replaced traditional neighborhood
polling places. Voters can visit these centers to vote, register and vote the same day, drop off
their ballots, vote with an accessible voting machine or receive help and voting materials in
multiple languages.

California Elections Code Section 12283(b)(2) states, “If a ... county elections official specifically
requests the use of a ... public building for polling places, or vote centers beginning up to 10
days before the election and continuing through election day, as well as during key dates
necessary for drop-off, set-up and pick-up of election materials, as determined by the elections
official, the governing body having jurisdiction over the particular ... public building shall allow
its use for the purpose requested.”
In keeping with that section, the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters is requesting the
use of the following city facilities as polling places for the 2025 Statewide Special Election:
•Alga Norte Community Park – Meeting Room 301, 6565 Alicante Road
•Calavera Community Park – Activity Room, 2997 Glasgow Drive
•Pine Avenue Community Center – Activity Room, 3209 Harding St.
•Stagecoach Community Center – Activity Room, 3420 Camino De Los Coches
The vote center locations must be made available as follows:
Friday, Oct. 24 – Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025 Delivery of supplies date range
Friday, Oct. 31, 2025, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Set up
Saturday, Nov. 1 – Monday Nov. 3, 2025, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Early voting days
Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Last day of voting
Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Break-down
Wednesday, Nov. 5 – Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025 Supplies pick-up date range
In addition, the Registrar of Voters is requesting the use of eight tables, 12 chairs and access to
five duplex electrical outlets.
Fiscal Analysis
California Elections Code Section 12283(b)(1) allows the city to provide these facilities for the
Registrar of Voter’s use without cost to the county. Providing use of Alga Norte Community
Park Meeting Room 301, Calavera Hills Community Center Activity Room, Pine Avenue
Community Center Activity Room and Stagecoach Community Center Activity Room for the
special election will result in a decrease in revenue generated from the day-to-day use of these
facilities. Because of the nature of the programming and incidental use, staff are unable to
determine an accurate fiscal impact at this time.
Additionally, Section 4(a) of Senate Bill No. 280, the legislation by which the Legislature called
the 2025 Statewide Special Election, states the Legislature’s intent to ensure counties have
sufficient funding to carry out the election. Funds are to be appropriated from the state
General Fund to the state Controller for the actual and reasonably necessary costs, as
determined by the state Director of Finance, for counties to conduct the 2025 Statewide Special
Election.
Next Steps
Staff will provide the necessary parks and facilities use application to the Registrar of Voters for
completion.

Environmental Evaluation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project
within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public
Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
