The Hoover City Council on Aug. 26 approved Resolution No. 8558-25 to canvass results from the Aug. 26, 2025 Hoover municipal election.

Council member Corley moved to approve the resolution canvassing the election results; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote, with Council President Lyda saying, “All in favor, say aye.” The council did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript; the clerk announced that “the ayes have it, and the motion carries.”

City Clerk Annis Clark read multiple ballots and announced vote totals and provisional tallies aloud during the canvass. Clark reported vote totals for mayor and city council places as read from the canvass documents, including: six votes for Frank Vincent Bricato for mayor and four for Nick Darzis; for city council place 1, tallies reported included Tamara Patel (total reported as six or seven in various readings) and Robin Schultz (four); place 2 totals included Kenneth Cox Jr. (four) and Jean Smith (two); place 3 totals included Ashley Lovell (seven) and Robert Williams (two); place 4 totals included Christy Driver (seven) and Christian Coleman (two); place 5 totals included Derrick Murphy (seven) and Steve Lawrence (three). Clark also noted the totals shown on the meeting display included provisional ballots.

Council member Derrick Murphy told the clerk he was running late and was “parking and on his way into the building” before the council began tallying ballots. After the clerk completed the readout and the council confirmed the math, the council approved the canvass resolution.

With canvass approval the only agenda item, the council adjourned.
