Summary
The South-of-Bishop levee-district board voted July 13 to canvass and declare the results of a June 27 special election that renewed a 5-mill property tax; general manager Ned said the measure passed with 87% support and about 2,743 ballots cast.
The South-of-Bishop levee-district board on July 13 formally canvassed and declared the results of a June 27 special election that renewed a 5-mill property tax for the district.
"This past June 27, we had an 87% Yes vote, 13% against," Ned, the district general manager, told the board, adding that total turnout was 2,743 ballots, about 25.2 percent of eligible voters. He recommended the board accept the returns and adopt a resolution to declare the results.
Board members moved to adopt the canvass-and-declare resolution (motion by Scott; second by Brett). The board conducted a roll-call vote; multiple members were recorded verbally as voting "Yes," and the motion passed. A board member asked for one of the members who voted "No" to explain their vote, but no explanation was offered on the record.
The district will file the adopted canvass resolution as its formal declaration of the special-election results. The general manager and board president were authorized to execute documents related to the canvass, per the board's action.
