Summary

Council set alternate canvass times (evening June 8 at community center or 9 a.m. June 8 at county facility) for a June special election, contingent on whether certified/copy poll books suffice for canvassers and pending attorney/county confirmation.

The council moved to establish dates, times, and alternate locations for canvassing a June special election, with the schedule contingent on county and attorney guidance about whether copies of the poll book will be sufficient. Clerk/Staff (S3) explained the practical constraints and proposed two alternate windows: June 8 in the evening during a regular meeting, or 9 a.m. June 8 at the county facility if original poll-book inspection is required.

"My recommendation would be to actually set 2 times and they contingent upon the need," Clerk/Staff (S3) said, summarizing the proposed motion. Staff warned that if original poll-books must be inspected at the county facility, the council may need to call a special meeting and travel to the county administration building. The council approved the motion to set alternate times and locations, delegating final selection to staff once the county and attorney clarify whether certified copies will suffice.
