[2:44] seconded uh to adjourn those in the favor suit by levi

[2:48] i

[2:52] thank you thank you

[3:16] yes

[3:45] good uh

[3:59] [Music]

[4:08] good morning

[4:13] i would call this uh hearing uh before the payless hills

[4:16] uh municipal election board to order uh call the roll please

[4:20] pauline stratton gerald bennett president rudy mulderlink is here

[4:25] mark brockman here and again

[4:33] there is a quorum mr mayor at the last hearing

[4:39] we took this case uh our advisement transition today

[4:43] and to allow us to do some re research on the nobody issue

[4:48] uh you heard the evidence on monday that the notary signed your commission uh

[4:56] printed on the notary signature which was a printed signature

[5:04] we did research on this matter and the both the secretary of state and

[5:10] case law is very clear as we stated in the

[5:14] decision that the notary has to sign the no

[5:19] affidavits the notary trot as she or he has signed her notary

[5:25] commission that was not done in this case and as we

[5:30] stated the law that has come from the secretary of

[5:33] state as well as the case law that's come from

[5:36] the appellate court the decision is is clear

[5:42] that the objection has to be granted as to the notary

[5:49] invalidating the statement of candidacy and the petition sheets

[5:54] and granting the objection that would be my recommendation if you

[6:00] agree the motion would be to uh

[6:05] uh interject at this point because when we left this hearing we were asking

[6:10] both the objector and the uh defendant i want to call that

[6:18] the petitioner to bring us information about the status of whether or not we

[6:23] these people were registered voters do you remember that yes yeah i got the

[6:30] website uh everyone on this petition

[6:35] all 16 of them are registered voters so that validates the fact that they all

[6:41] are registered but you got the same problem

[6:44] there that you have with your notary they didn't sign the petition either

[6:48] they printed their names and that was me yeah so i'm just

[6:52] interjecting that to let you know the information the

[6:57] record okay thank you the fact that the notary

[7:02] uh validates the the petitions so i think the uh the proper motion if

[7:09] you agree with that and i gave you the law

[7:11] ahead of time and the board uh individually receive the uh

[7:16] the memorandum from uh my office as to the law

[7:20] uh i think the proper motion at this point would be to

[7:24] grant the objection as to the notary and to invalidate the petition

[7:30] second moved and seconded all those in favor will signify by a

[7:36] vote of i i and i and the motion carries

[7:40] mr mayor i prepared a decision and if the board can sign the decision

[7:46] at this meeting he contended the decision to both parties

[7:58] uh and for the record uh both the objector is here

[8:06] hearing uh not adhering either is here to have her as as being present
