Riverton canvassers approve Salt Lake County election results; meeting moves to city council

The Riverton Board of Canvassers unanimously approved item 2B, accepting the official election results provided by the Salt Lake County Clerk's Office, then adjourned and reconvened as the Riverton City Council.

The presiding officer opened a short canvass and stated, "Elected officials, you've been given the official election results from the Salt Lake County Clerk's Office by our city recorder, Jamie." Council member Perucci, who identified himself as having taken part in the post-election audit alongside Councilmember Haman, moved to approve item 2B. "I was very impressed with the audit review process," Perucci said, encouraging residents to observe the audit and noting he sat "with two volunteers — one that's been doing it for a decade with Salt Lake County and another's been doing it for five years." The motion was seconded by McDougall.

The chair called the roll and recorded votes in favor from McDougall, Perucci, Broker, Hamant and McKay. The presiding officer announced, "Motion carries," and the board adjourned. A motion to adjourn the Board of Canvassers was made and seconded; members responded "Aye." The meeting then moved directly into the Riverton City Council session, with the chair asking City Recorder Jamie to confirm recording readiness.

No amendments or objections to item 2B were recorded during the brief proceedings. The action formally accepts the county-certified results for the city and concludes the canvass process; the City Council meeting followed immediately.
