North Beach council appoints five election judges ahead of April 1 deadline
Summary
The council appointed three primary election judges and two alternates — George Gracie, Corolla Wilson, Fred Noble (primaries), and Suzanne Delaney and Melanie Donovan (alternates) — to ensure staffing for the upcoming election.
The North Beach Town Council appointed five election judges on March 12, 2026, to meet the requirement that judges be in place by April 1. The mayor presented five recommended names from seven applicants and cited diversity and application order as factors in the picks.
The council moved and seconded the slate; a voice vote approved George Gracie, Corolla (Carolla) Wilson and Fred Noble as primary judges and Suzanne Delaney and Melanie Donovan as alternates. The mayor explained one applicant was disqualified for not meeting the two-year residency requirement.
Council members emphasized that appointments do not automatically endorse candidates and that the process followed application order and eligibility rules. Clerk staff were directed to proceed with onboarding the appointees so the election panel is ready by April 1.
There was no recorded roll-call tally; the appointment passed by voice vote.
