Mayor Phelps gave the following information for consideration. The Dallas County
Elections Department called on April 28, 1997 and informed the City Secretary that a
majority of the cities have changed their runoff date from June 7, 1997 to May 31, 1997.
The Elections Department stated the City of Balch Springs would have to hold their runoff
election on June 7, 1997 due to a charter requirement. If the City Council desired to leave
the runoff date as originally ordered, a joint election could be held with the City of Balch
Springs. The runoff election will cost less if held on May 31, 1997 because the cost is
distributed evenly between cities.
A motion by Councilman Grubbs, a second by Councilwoman Davis, all voting "aye",
adopted the following captioned Ordinance No. 2315 changing the runoff election date
from June 7, 1997 to May 31, 1997 by amending Ordinance No. 2294.
AMENDING ORDINANCE 2294 CALLING AN ELECTION FOR CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS, PLACE 3 AND PLACE 5.
