Lane County certifies Dunes City election; oath set for Jan. 8
Summary
Lane County certified the Dunes City election results in mid-December; the city verified residency for two write-in winners and the mayor said new and re-elected council members will take the oath at the council's first January meeting.
Lane County certified the Dunes City election results two weeks before the Dec. 18 regular meeting, the mayor reported. "Lane County certified the results, 2 weeks ago, Monday," the mayor said during new business, and the city verified residency for the top write-in finishers.
According to the mayor, the top three vote-getters in write-in tallies included Chris (a candidate on the ballot), Larry Farnsworth and Duke Wells. The mayor said the city sent appropriate forms to Larry Farnsworth and Duke Wells and received completed residency verifications. "So he and I and Larry and Duke will take the oath of office the first meeting in January," the mayor said; council members indicated Jan. 8 as the date for the oath.
The report was procedural: council recorded certification and residency checks but did not take other action on election administration during the meeting. The matter of candidate outreach and any contested ballots was handled by Lane County election officials, the mayor said. The city did not identify vote totals in the meeting record; specific counts were "not specified."
