Gillsville postpones vote on General Election Ordinance over qualifying-fee discrepancy
Summary
Council members noticed a possible error in the qualifying fee shown in the election advertisement and postponed the vote on the General Election Ordinance pending verification with the town attorney, David Syfan.
At the Feb. 3 council meeting the General Election Ordinance was brought forward for a vote, but several council members observed that the qualifying-fee amount printed in the public advertisement may be incorrect. The council postponed the vote until the fee can be verified with Town Attorney David Syfan.
No vote on the ordinance occurred at the meeting, and council members did not instruct staff to make immediate changes to the advertisement. The postponement ensures the town attorney will confirm the correct qualifying fee before the council votes on the ordinance.
