Council adopts resolutions on voting equipment and appoints city clerk as election manager
Summary
Columbiana’s council adopted resolutions naming the ballot‑marking and DS200 tabulation devices to be used in upcoming elections and appointed the city clerk as election manager because the mayor will be a candidate.
The council passed a resolution designating the ballot‑marking device (ExpressVote MD) and the DS200 tabulation device for upcoming elections to comply with ADA and tabulation requirements. The city clerk (speaker 8) explained that device changes trigger a council resolution naming the equipment to be used.
Separately the council adopted a resolution appointing the city clerk as election manager because state statute names the mayor as election manager unless the mayor is a candidate; the mayor indicated he will run for office and the clerk will serve in that administrative role for the upcoming election cycle.
