Kennett City Council adopts certificate of election by voice vote
Summary
The Kennett City Council approved a resolution certifying the outcome of the recent municipal election by voice vote after a brief statement of appreciation for council service.
The Kennett City Council unanimously adopted a resolution certifying the outcome of the recent municipal election during the council's first session. A councilmember asked for a motion "to approve the votes to elect for the outcome of the election," a motion was made and seconded, and the council approved the certification by voice vote.
The motion was moved by a councilmember (name not specified in the transcript) and seconded by Miss Gabbes. During discussion the speaker noted the council's continuity — "Beside the retirement and the farmer. Every member has been elected back, 2 years ago, out of 5 seats, there were 4 changes" — and thanked members for volunteering their time. The council then held the voice vote: "All in favor, say aye," followed by "Aye," and the chair declared the motion passed.
The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or numerical tallies; the certification was recorded as approved by voice vote. The council then closed the first session of the meeting and proceeded to a brief ceremonial presentation.
