1-12-7: INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS:
A. As used in this section, the following words shall have the following meanings:
ELECTION RELATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT: An intergovernmental agreement related to the provision of election related services to or for the town in connection with any regular or special Town election, or any coordinated election. An election related intergovernmental agreement includes, but is not limited to, the intergovernmental agreement required by section 1-7-116(2), Colorado Revised Statutes, with respect to coordinated elections.
B. Pursuant to section 29-1-203(1), Colorado Revised Statutes, the town clerk is hereby delegated the authority to enter into one or more binding election related intergovernmental agreements with the Clerk and Recorder of Summit County. Once approved by the town clerk pursuant to this section, an election related intergovernmental agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the town.
C. In exercising the authority delegated under this section, the town clerk shall be guided by the following considerations:
1. The intergovernmental agreement may contain such provisions which are necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the town clerk, for the proper conduct of the election which is the subject of the agreement;
2. The intergovernmental agreement shall provide a fair allocation of the responsibilities between the Clerk and Recorder of Summit County and the town clerk for the proper preparation and conduct of the election which is the subject of the agreement; and
3. The intergovernmental agreement shall provide for a reasonable sharing of the actual cost of the election which is the subject of the agreement as between Summit County and the town. No intergovernmental agreement entered into by the town clerk pursuant to the authority granted by this section shall obligate the town to share any portion of the usual costs of maintaining the Office of the Summit County Clerk and Recorder, including, but not limited to, overhead costs and personal services costs of permanent employees, except for such costs that are shown to be directly attributable to conducting the election which is the subject of the agreement.
D. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the town clerk from seeking approval of a particular election related intergovernmental agreement when, in the judgment of the town clerk, the proposed agreement involves a matter which should properly be determined by the town council.
