Council appoints itself as canvass board for June special election
Summary
By motion and roll-call vote the council appointed itself as the official board of canvassers for the June special election, as permitted because no member has a conflict; staff said the step is required by statute.
The council voted to appoint its members as the official board of canvassers for the upcoming June special election because no member indicated a conflict of interest. Clerk/Staff (S3) explained the appointment is a statutory step and that last year an outside appointee was necessary when members were on the ballot.
Clerk/Staff (S3) described the appointment as "essentially the step that you appoint yourselves as canvassers," noting the action is required by state statute when no council member has a conflict. The motion to appoint carried on a roll-call vote with affirmative responses from the council.
