2 Another set of documents provided for Board review and comment are the materials for BOCC District Elections newspaper advertisements that would be published during October and early November in four newspapers that serve the County. The map portions of these advertisements are expected to predominantly appear in color format unless unforeseen circumstances dictate otherwise. The Board may wish to make comments and revisions regarding the materials. The fourth attachment to this abstract, which was also provided with the September 19th agenda abstract and is provided again here for reference purposes, is a Sampling of Potential Advertising Opportunities and Costs through various media in the County. This information may be helpful as the Board reviews the draft brochure and draft advertisement. FINANCIAL IMPACT: At the September 19, 2006 regular meeting, the Board allocated $15,000 from the BOCC Contingency account for the District Elections Education Process for the November 2006 referendum. The Sampling of Potential Advertising Opportunities and Costs attachment details. how a substantial portion of the $15,000 is proposed to be expended. The $15,000 is in addition to the $1,385.48 expended as part of required official legal notice of the district election referendum which the County provided as part of the referendum process. That notice, provided as the last attachment to this abstract, appeared in a black and white format during July 2006 in The Chapel Hill News, The Chapel Hill Herald, the News of Orange, and the News of Orange Extra. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review the attached draft BOCC District Elections educational brochure and the materials for BOCC District Elections newspaper advertisements, provide any comments and/or revisions to staff, and authorize staff to proceed with brochure publication and newspaper advertisement placement.
