1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:02,660

15
00:00:42,342 --> 00:00:42,942
Rebels. Well, outside counsel.

16
00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:44,942
Adam Walker Corporation

17
00:00:48,314 --> 00:00:50,483
counsel. Thank you guys for

18
00:00:50,483 --> 00:00:52,883
the introductions. Get started

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,923
The first topic on the agenda

20
00:00:56,923 --> 00:00:57,858
is the 2026 general election

21
00:00:57,858 --> 00:00:59,858
ballot ratification. Director

22
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:03,227
Becker, can provide context?

23
00:01:04,697 --> 00:01:05,499
Thank you, MADAM So by law

24
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:07,367
today, 60 days before the

25
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:09,369
election are ballot is

26
00:01:09,369 --> 00:01:09,936
ratified. So there's no action

27
00:01:09,936 --> 00:01:12,936
that the board has to

28
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:15,542
necessarily take here. You all

29
00:01:15,542 --> 00:01:18,542
received a valid proof. Number

30
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:22,178
3, which was sent out prior to

31
00:01:22,516 --> 00:01:23,216
the deadline of AUGUST 20 and

32
00:01:23,216 --> 00:01:24,984
that was sent all the school

33
00:01:24,984 --> 00:01:25,618
corporations as well as the

34
00:01:25,618 --> 00:01:28,180
political parties and the

35
00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:31,788
chairs and other members of er

36
00:01:31,858 --> 00:01:34,760
and members of our board, 2 of

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,429
the school corporations did

38
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:36,864
respond saying that they're

39
00:01:36,864 --> 00:01:38,632
question look good. That Beech

40
00:01:38,632 --> 00:01:39,366
Grove indicator, so appreciate

41
00:01:39,366 --> 00:01:41,766
their responses. No other

42
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:45,973
responses came so at this

43
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:46,707
point, the ballot is ratified.

44
00:01:46,707 --> 00:01:50,676
I know I I reference last week

45
00:01:50,676 --> 00:01:53,676
there is a ongoing judicial

46
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,882
review that that MAY impact

47
00:01:55,882 --> 00:01:57,417
our ballot But I don't think

48
00:01:57,417 --> 00:01:59,353
we really have an update on

49
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:00,870
that. Hopefully by next

50
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:01,989
Friday's meeting, we have some

51
00:02:01,989 --> 00:02:05,589
sort of update from the court

52
00:02:05,659 --> 00:02:06,894
about what that looks like.

53
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:07,527
And I would obviously defer to

54
00:02:07,527 --> 00:02:10,130
council if there are any

55
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:10,764
questions about that. But as

56
00:02:10,764 --> 00:02:14,364
of yet, as of today, our

57
00:02:14,535 --> 00:02:17,537
ballot is ratified soon on our

58
00:02:17,537 --> 00:02:18,472
website, sample ballots will

59
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:19,106
be available. And then over

60
00:02:19,106 --> 00:02:21,708
the next few weeks, we'll

61
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:24,511
start the process of of

62
00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:25,179
testing and getting all of our

63
00:02:25,179 --> 00:02:25,812
machines up and running and

64
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,647
getting ready to produce

65
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:30,647
ballots from voters. If any

66
00:02:32,752 --> 00:02:35,752
questions board. Not for me.

67
00:02:37,858 --> 00:02:41,458
Comments. I just it's so much

68
00:02:42,930 --> 00:02:46,600
work to do this we have a

69
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,600
staff right now, 13. And there

70
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:53,673
are how many ballots styles.

71
00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:54,341
Were it over? Think 121200

72
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:57,341
over 1000. I know that. So

73
00:03:01,248 --> 00:03:01,915
that is. 1000 at more than

74
00:03:01,915 --> 00:03:03,583
1000 ballots that every

75
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:05,983
office, every candidate for

76
00:03:07,420 --> 00:03:08,255
every office has to be right.

77
00:03:08,255 --> 00:03:10,257
Every election and they do it.

78
00:03:10,257 --> 00:03:12,959
I'm very proud of of what they

79
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:17,159
do and so much work goes into

80
00:03:17,898 --> 00:03:19,533
it. So. And get it done. So.

81
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:22,533
Like I said, Marion County

82
00:03:23,170 --> 00:03:25,472
with the you have to If I

83
00:03:25,472 --> 00:03:26,439
could. I'd like to to

84
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:27,507
specifically give a shout out

85
00:03:27,507 --> 00:03:28,108
to Chad Cleerman, who's our

86
00:03:28,108 --> 00:03:30,508
our ballot admin. He's

87
00:03:31,444 --> 00:03:33,814
actually out sick today

88
00:03:33,814 --> 00:03:36,583
probably from the diligence do

89
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:38,752
his eyes. His eyes are

90
00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:39,486
probably in he had a big

91
00:03:39,486 --> 00:03:41,154
assist this election from Bree

92
00:03:41,154 --> 00:03:43,356
Joyce is also on our full-time

93
00:03:43,356 --> 00:03:45,158
staff. I think she got a

94
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:47,294
little bit maybe more into the

95
00:03:47,294 --> 00:03:49,329
ballot world than she thought

96
00:03:49,329 --> 00:03:51,398
she was going and they led a

97
00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:53,660
team of 8 of our temporary

98
00:03:53,660 --> 00:03:53,800
staff that go through those

99
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,468
ballots. Like I said, multiple

100
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:57,468
iterations of it. They find

101
00:03:57,737 --> 00:03:58,472
issues. We correct them. We

102
00:03:58,472 --> 00:03:59,173
come back check them again. We

103
00:03:59,173 --> 00:04:02,173
find more issues. We correct

104
00:04:02,643 --> 00:04:03,376
them. We keep going so we've

105
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,770
gone through 4 rounds of that.

106
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:04,745
And we're confident that this

107
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:08,345
is the ballot for the fall.

108
00:04:09,483 --> 00:04:11,510
All right. Thanks special.

109
00:04:11,510 --> 00:04:14,210
Thank you to Chad. Literally

110
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:17,621
worked use Take a time when

111
00:04:20,940 --> 00:04:24,310
you All We'll move on to the

112
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:26,660
next agenda item I think you

113
00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:27,467
have it and things contract

114
00:04:27,467 --> 00:04:28,101
approval Director Becky Lynch

115
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:30,501
are which contract we're

116
00:04:31,338 --> 00:04:32,306
looking at today. If thank

117
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:33,373
you, MADAM Chair. So I sent a

118
00:04:33,373 --> 00:04:34,740
message to the but, you know,

119
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:37,674
to the board last night with

120
00:04:38,212 --> 00:04:41,812
an update as of last evening,

121
00:04:42,382 --> 00:04:43,117
this morning, I did receive a

122
00:04:43,117 --> 00:04:46,117
quote from knowing for support

123
00:04:47,288 --> 00:04:48,210
for the fall I don't I don't

124
00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:51,210
have anything prepared for the

125
00:04:51,725 --> 00:04:52,693
board to to sign off on today.

126
00:04:52,693 --> 00:04:55,262
I would probably defer to

127
00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:56,397
council on. You could probably

128
00:04:56,397 --> 00:04:59,700
still vote to allow us to

129
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:00,400
negotiate a contract. We're

130
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,600
back in front of you again a

131
00:05:05,273 --> 00:05:06,874
week from today. So we you

132
00:05:06,874 --> 00:05:08,809
know, work over that week to

133
00:05:08,809 --> 00:05:10,979
try to figure out the the

134
00:05:10,979 --> 00:05:11,646
actual contract language and

135
00:05:11,646 --> 00:05:14,314
get something ready for you

136
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:15,160
all to approve formally, I

137
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,416
guess sign something formally

138
00:05:19,187 --> 00:05:19,853
next week. But I probably

139
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:22,557
defer to council on on the

140
00:05:22,557 --> 00:05:23,257
best way to proceed. We do

141
00:05:23,257 --> 00:05:24,992
have a quote for support just

142
00:05:24,992 --> 00:05:27,392
for the fall election,

143
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:29,697
although it does see the MAY

144
00:05:29,697 --> 00:05:30,397
election that they're their

145
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:33,000
intent, I believe, is for the

146
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,469
fall election. So on documents

147
00:05:35,469 --> 00:05:37,469
yet.

148
00:05:46,748 --> 00:05:47,448
like any guidance here? If you

149
00:05:47,448 --> 00:05:51,480
want to put your blessing on

150
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:52,854
us to proceed with.

151
00:05:52,854 --> 00:05:53,554
Negotiating a contract to

152
00:05:53,554 --> 00:05:57,154
bring back to the board next

153
00:05:57,325 --> 00:05:58,590
week. That's fun. Either way.

154
00:05:58,590 --> 00:05:58,726
Mean, I know this kind of what

155
00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:02,326
the board was looking to do

156
00:06:03,264 --> 00:06:03,965
last week. Having some

157
00:06:03,965 --> 00:06:06,965
approval from the board would

158
00:06:08,336 --> 00:06:12,536
be helpful. I make a motion to

159
00:06:12,807 --> 00:06:14,875
move forward with this with an

160
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:16,430
amendment to enter into

161
00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:18,443
negotiations for an amendment

162
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:29,653
to this contract. I love the

163
00:06:33,327 --> 00:06:36,327
I'm saying my vote. Second.

164
00:06:38,566 --> 00:06:41,566
Yes. Second, Karl Rove vice

165
00:06:42,303 --> 00:06:45,303
chair, staying. Can show the

166
00:06:48,976 --> 00:06:49,978
Chair Voting Act. So at

167
00:06:49,978 --> 00:06:50,745
Because you negotiate over the

168
00:06:50,745 --> 00:06:53,745
weekend, then we're back on

169
00:06:54,949 --> 00:06:55,650
Friday. Says that the deadline

170
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:58,686
to give them to come up with

171
00:06:58,686 --> 00:06:59,387
something. It it with with

172
00:06:59,387 --> 00:07:02,387
being an amendment. It should

173
00:07:02,523 --> 00:07:04,523
be pretty straightforward.

174
00:07:10,798 --> 00:07:11,499
Thank you. And Director Becker

175
00:07:11,499 --> 00:07:14,569
any updates you want to share

176
00:07:14,569 --> 00:07:16,837
why we're here today. Yes,

177
00:07:16,837 --> 00:07:18,390
thank you, MADAM First, I want

178
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:19,240
make sure that everyone knows

179
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,710
that our office will be closed

180
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:24,612
Monday, SEPTEMBER, the 7th for

181
00:07:24,612 --> 00:07:26,581
Labor Day. And I don't think

182
00:07:26,581 --> 00:07:28,981
honoring many holidays after

183
00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:33,388
for our staff. So I mentioned

184
00:07:33,388 --> 00:07:34,388
earlier, there's pending

185
00:07:34,388 --> 00:07:35,223
information about a judicial

186
00:07:35,223 --> 00:07:37,958
review. So hopefully we have

187
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:40,995
some update on that the next

188
00:07:40,995 --> 00:07:41,896
meeting and update on our

189
00:07:41,896 --> 00:07:43,164
operations center. The

190
00:07:43,164 --> 00:07:45,564
installation of the network

191
00:07:45,967 --> 00:07:47,100
has been completed and the

192
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:48,170
security system is currently

193
00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:48,903
being upgraded. And as I

194
00:07:48,903 --> 00:07:49,671
mentioned last week are full

195
00:07:49,671 --> 00:07:51,500
time 20 for our security is on

196
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:51,973
site through the end of

197
00:07:51,973 --> 00:07:53,973
NOVEMBER. Are preventive

198
00:07:55,643 --> 00:07:56,811
maintenance is completed. We

199
00:07:56,811 --> 00:07:58,679
had over 50 of our express

200
00:07:58,679 --> 00:08:00,815
votes that needed repair this

201
00:08:00,815 --> 00:08:01,549
election, all but 4 of those

202
00:08:01,549 --> 00:08:05,149
were able to be repaired and

203
00:08:06,454 --> 00:08:10,540
ready for testing. So we down

204
00:08:14,563 --> 00:08:15,396
to 2004 of those and we have

205
00:08:15,396 --> 00:08:17,331
225 Ds, 2, 100's that were

206
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:20,331
main maintained and ready to

207
00:08:20,502 --> 00:08:21,235
go as well as our 2 high speed

208
00:08:21,235 --> 00:08:23,635
tabulators. So again, over

209
00:08:26,307 --> 00:08:28,276
20400 pieces of equipment and

210
00:08:28,276 --> 00:08:30,411
we were done prior to our

211
00:08:30,411 --> 00:08:31,813
deadline of today. So they

212
00:08:31,813 --> 00:08:32,513
finished a couple of days ago.

213
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:36,510
So we met our deadline of our

214
00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:37,785
goal of of today over the next

215
00:08:37,785 --> 00:08:39,487
2 weeks. Now that the ballot

216
00:08:39,487 --> 00:08:40,455
is ready, we will be again,

217
00:08:40,455 --> 00:08:43,291
are testing for vote by mail

218
00:08:43,291 --> 00:08:45,661
and and our voting equipment.

219
00:08:45,661 --> 00:08:47,496
And then we'll also need to

220
00:08:47,496 --> 00:08:48,196
work to get our poll books

221
00:08:48,196 --> 00:08:49,765
configured ready for testing

222
00:08:49,765 --> 00:08:52,765
for that over the next 3

223
00:08:54,703 --> 00:08:56,638
weeks. With that and then I

224
00:08:56,638 --> 00:08:58,639
wanted to give an update on

225
00:08:58,639 --> 00:08:59,775
our vote Center plan for the

226
00:08:59,775 --> 00:09:02,775
We did get confirmation from

227
00:09:04,246 --> 00:09:07,246
rocky Ripple town hall. I

228
00:09:07,749 --> 00:09:08,416
believe it was last evening

229
00:09:08,416 --> 00:09:11,416
that they are not available

230
00:09:11,853 --> 00:09:12,788
for the fall election and

231
00:09:12,788 --> 00:09:14,589
which I believe I mentioned

232
00:09:14,589 --> 00:09:16,724
last week, we were sort of

233
00:09:16,724 --> 00:09:18,627
anticipated. I didn't want let

234
00:09:18,627 --> 00:09:21,196
the public know and the board

235
00:09:21,196 --> 00:09:22,930
know there are 4 locations

236
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:24,199
within one and a half miles of

237
00:09:24,199 --> 00:09:27,350
rocky ripple. I'd like to

238
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:28,737
provide those planned

239
00:09:28,737 --> 00:09:31,139
locations now, which would be

240
00:09:31,139 --> 00:09:32,374
Hinkle Fieldhouse, Crooked

241
00:09:32,374 --> 00:09:33,442
Creek Baptist, Saint Paul's

242
00:09:33,442 --> 00:09:35,842
Episcopalian and Saint Thomas

243
00:09:36,311 --> 00:09:39,148
Aquinas. So those are are near

244
00:09:39,148 --> 00:09:40,249
that area we believe those

245
00:09:40,249 --> 00:09:41,550
should help, you you know,

246
00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:42,551
absorb any of the voters that

247
00:09:42,551 --> 00:09:43,485
that go to rocky ripple. They

248
00:09:43,485 --> 00:09:46,121
have a place nearby that they

249
00:09:46,121 --> 00:09:48,657
should be able to to go to. So

250
00:09:48,657 --> 00:09:51,760
that would bring our total for

251
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,961
this election to 183 at this

252
00:09:52,961 --> 00:09:56,561
point that the is including we

253
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,900
had 182 in the spring. First

254
00:10:02,771 --> 00:10:05,171
friends gathering has decided

255
00:10:05,707 --> 00:10:08,711
to come back to be a site in

256
00:10:08,711 --> 00:10:11,980
the fall town is happy news

257
00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:13,315
and Lucas Oil Stadium is going

258
00:10:13,315 --> 00:10:14,316
to back on for the fall as

259
00:10:14,316 --> 00:10:18,516
well. So we had to least one.

260
00:10:19,354 --> 00:10:20,856
Thank you, When so we yes,

261
00:10:20,856 --> 00:10:24,660
will plan to have that plan to

262
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:27,463
the board for their review.

263
00:10:27,463 --> 00:10:30,866
Early next week. And have that

264
00:10:30,866 --> 00:10:32,134
ready to vote on for Friday.

265
00:10:32,134 --> 00:10:32,801
And then the last thing I

266
00:10:32,801 --> 00:10:35,801
wanted to mention, I'm sure

267
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:36,572
the clerk will mention this

268
00:10:36,572 --> 00:10:37,672
pork or recruiting is

269
00:10:37,672 --> 00:10:40,609
underway. We have set out our

270
00:10:40,609 --> 00:10:42,444
save the date cards to the

271
00:10:42,444 --> 00:10:44,880
inspectors that work in the

272
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,781
last election, asking them to

273
00:10:45,781 --> 00:10:47,516
save the date, asking them if

274
00:10:47,516 --> 00:10:48,150
they're interested again. So

275
00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:50,452
this is kind of our soft

276
00:10:50,452 --> 00:10:51,986
launch of our pork or

277
00:10:51,986 --> 00:10:52,654
recruiting operations. And

278
00:10:52,654 --> 00:10:53,956
those operations will start

279
00:10:53,956 --> 00:10:54,690
picking up over the next few

280
00:10:54,690 --> 00:10:57,392
weeks. So if you're interested

281
00:10:57,392 --> 00:10:58,600
being a poll worker, you know,

282
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,497

declined in. The primary, it

292
00:11:27,890 --> 00:11:30,890
was very disconcerting and I

293
00:11:30,359 --> 00:11:31,493
just that's very happy news.

294
00:11:31,493 --> 00:11:35,693

County. It's it's a group

379
00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:30,199

of local law enforcement

382
00:15:33,903 --> 00:15:36,303
across multiple agencies. It's

383
00:15:38,908 --> 00:15:39,609

388
00:15:47,850 --> 00:15:50,850

00:15:52,722 --> 00:15:55,722
