RESOLUTION
Changing a Polling Place Designation for Elections in 2020.
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes §204B.16 provides for the manner of designating polling places
within municipalities in Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Subdivision 1 of that section requires the governing body of each municipality to
designate by ordinance or resolution a polling place for each election precinct by December 31 for
the following calendar year unless a change is made because a polling place has become
unavailable; and
WHEREAS, the properly designated polling place for Ward 1, Precinct 7 has been set for 2020 at
th
Rochester Township Hall, located at 4111 11 Ave SW; and
WHEREAS, Rochester Township Hall is also used for the voting precincts of Rochester Township,
and lacks adequate off-street parking and indoor queuing areas for City voters; and
WHEREAS, there will be three election events in 2020, including March 3, August 11, and
November 3, with a high potential for inclement weather on two of those three dates, thereby
rendering Rochester Township Hall unavailable for full use by City voters as needed for all election
events in 2020.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Rochester that the
City, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 204B.16, subdivision 1, does hereby change the designation
of the polling place for Ward 1, Precinct 7 in the City of Rochester, Minnesota for all elections in
