will start using them at the Primary and General elections and then they plan to wait until 2020
to purchase DS200s tabulators. She explained the County is hoping there will be some leftover
grant funding to help with the purchase cost of these or an additional grant. She also explained
the County has stated there would not be a rental fee charged to the cities in 2018 for the poll
books. Due to the potential of additional grant funds for the DS200 and the uncertainly at this
