Summary
At a May 13 special meeting the Fair Oaks Ranch City Council approved a resolution canvassing the May 3 general election and declared Ruben J. Olvera elected to Place 3, Dale Pearson to Place 4 and Scott Parker to Place 5.
The Fair Oaks Ranch City Council on May 13 approved a resolution canvassing the May 3, 2025, general election and declared Ruben J. Olvera the winner for Place 3, Dale Pearson the winner for Place 4 and Scott Parker the winner for Place 5.
City staff told the council the returns were provided by the presiding judge of Kendall County, which administered the election. The canvass included the vote totals read into the record: Scott Rose, 484 total votes (2 absentee, 374 early, 108 election day); James Roth, 469 total votes (4 absentee, 363 early, 102 election day); Dale Pearson, reported as 621 total votes (5 absentee, 475 early, 141 election day); Kevin Cox, 467 total votes (3 absentee, 364 early, 100 election day); and Scott Parker, 626 total votes (6 absentee, 477 early, 143 election day). Vote totals for Ruben J. Olvera were not clearly specified in the transcript provided; the city’s canvass declared Olvera elected to Place 3.
The special meeting was called to order at 4 p.m. by Mayor Maxton and a quorum of four members was declared for the purpose of canvassing the election. No members of the public signed up to speak during the citizens-to-be-heard portion. A city staff member read the returns into the record and the council asked whether there were any questions about the information presented.
Council moved to adopt the resolution canvassing the returns. A motion to approve the resolution was made by "Jonathan" and seconded by "Keith," as recorded in the meeting transcript. Mayor Maxton called for the vote and, after the council responded “Aye,” declared the motion approved. The transcript records no votes in opposition, and the resolution was adopted during the meeting.
With the canvass complete, Christina (city staff) confirmed there was nothing further to cover and Mayor Maxton adjourned the meeting at about 4:05 p.m.
The canvass is an administrative step that records and certifies the returns from Kendall County and formally declares the winners eligible to take office under the city’s election schedule.
