RE: the costs

["Paul Tiger - LPBC - Outreach" <LPBC-O@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't spoke the Alisa, but to the BC clerks elections division. The
figure I heard was "approx $20K". Now this is just for the election itself
and not matching funds for candidate campaigns.

Never gave any thought to the matching funds bit.

The $80K to $100K figure was quoted to Joe, Neal, and myself by Alisa.  If I
am wrong then I apologize.

Joe and/or Neal, I'm I remembering the dollar amount incorrectly?

Indeed, the number may considerably exceed $100K if there is a run on the
city's coffers if a lot of candidates seek matching funds.
