At its Jan. 27, 2025 meeting, the Independent School District No. 186 (Pequot Lakes Public Schools) School Board adopted a resolution establishing an Absentee Ballot Board for the district's April 8, 2025 special election. The board acted to meet the requirement of Minnesota Statute 203B.121, Subd. 1, which the resolution cites as the basis for the action.
The resolution states, "The Board hereby establishes an Absentee Ballot Board that would consist of a sufficient number of election judges as provided in sections 204B.19 to 204B.22, and deputy auditors to perform the task." It also directs that judges for the 2025 special election be appointed "as on file in the Crow Wing County Administrative Services Department" and be compensated at a rate of $25.00 per hour. The minutes record that the motion was seconded and that Kim Bolz-Andolshek, Mariah Hines, Pamela Johnson, Dena Moody, Ross Nelson and Amy Sjoblad voted in favor and none voted against; the resolution was declared adopted.
The board did not identify a named mover or seconder in the minutes. Next steps recorded in the minutes include appointment of the absentee-judges list maintained by Crow Wing County and posting absentee-location and hours information as required by statute.
