Commission approves early-voting hours, worker pay and voting method
Summary
The commission approved an early-voting schedule, authorized pay and fees for election workers and authorized election procedures after motions were moved and seconded; the transcript records approval but does not specify vote counts.
Speaker 4 presented the county's proposed early-voting arrangements and related election items, asking the board to approve Room G1 as the main early-voting site and a schedule that includes extended hours and weekend voting: "8 to 5 for first week, 7 to 7" and extended weekend hours the week of Oct. 28, Speaker 4 said.
Speaker 4 also proposed compensating election partners at $12 per hour, a $25 flat fee for in-person election-day training if such training is held, and a $25 delivery fee for collection and supply delivery on election night. "I'm requesting $12 dollars an hour, which is what we currently pay," Speaker 4 said.
Motions to approve the early-voting hours and to authorize the voting method were moved and seconded; Speaker 1 called the votes and recorded affirmative oral responses ('I'). The transcript records that the items "passed" but does not include detailed roll-call tallies or the names of the motion mover and seconder. Speaker 4 additionally asked to publish a notice in a local paper (the transcript references the "Rosebudgeon journal," a phrase that is unclear in the recording and appears garbled in the transcript).
The meeting also included a brief question from Speaker 1 about moving about $46.82 to a jury-summons distribution account. Several brief interjections and repeated "I'm sorry" utterances appear at the end of the provided transcript; the record is fragmentary there.
