Summary

Paul Hake told the Carver County Board he wants a publicly convened citizen advisory committee to evaluate electoral changes over the past 20 years and supplied written materials and an email contact for follow-up.

Paul Hake, a local resident who identified his address as 261 Hidden Lane, asked the board to consider convening a citizen advisory committee to take a broad, public look at election changes made over the last two decades. "My heart truly goes to the little people," Hake said, framing the request as a bid to ensure transparency and consistent legal boundaries for any review.

Hake left printed materials with the board and offered a digital contact for staff and commissioners to follow up: "If you do want this digitally, I'm phaik@haik.com." He characterized his submission as a supplement to a prior petition and emphasized that any citizen committee must understand and operate within existing law. No formal action was taken; the public comment was noted by the board and the meeting proceeded to the regular agenda.
