Summary
The Frenship ISD Board of Trustees canvassed combined early voting and election-day returns, adopted results provided by the county elections office and issued certificates of election.
At a special called meeting, the Frenship ISD Board of Trustees canvassed combined early voting and election-day results for the May 3 Place 2 contest and adopted the results provided by the county elections office.
Lisa Deebrecht, presenting the election packet, said, "There were a total of a thousand 5 votes within our boundaries." She reported that Mr. Cox received 721 votes and Mr. Contreras Jr. received 284 votes; the board declared Andrew Cox elected to Place 2. The board also confirmed that Place 1 board member Tyler Hanes had been declared elected earlier when that race was canceled because he was unopposed.
Administration recommended that the board adopt the results as provided by the Lubbock County Elections Office and that the presiding officer issue certificates of election for Tyler Hanes and Andrew Cox. Trustee Kyle Rogers moved to approve the canvass and Jamie Phillips seconded; trustees voted by voice and the motion carried.
Following the vote the board issued the certificates. The transcript records an on-the-record oath administered at the meeting beginning "I, Diedre Cox, do solemnly swear..." The record does not specify the relationship, if any, between the person taking the oath and the candidate declared elected.
Action: The board adopted the canvass of the May 3 election results and authorized issuance of certificates of election for Place 1 and Place 2.
