[0:10] I don't know which card this is visual, but I think this is there. Okay, thanks for coming, everybody, we're going to start it. It's probably going to be a quick meeting that we'll go through. And thanks for participating, especially thanks for everyone who participated in the election as we go through the canvas, and it will be great. So, the convening spring, city, special council meeting Tuesday, November of 18, 2025,
[0:36] and it's okay, we'll start with a pledge of allegiance.
[0:43] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
[0:49] and to the Republic for which it stands
[0:52] one nation under God in the middle of the world
[0:57] with liberty and justice as far off.
[0:59] Thank you.
[1:01] Would anyone like to offer some kind of expression of choices
[1:04] We can get our name this evening.
[1:10] Okay.
[1:13] I got a comment, great to see you.
[1:14] We're so grateful for the administration.
[1:17] As we get to see the results of the free election.
[1:21] Carry it out tonight.
[1:22] We're grateful for the good and the nation work.
[1:25] We can do so.
[1:26] Please help us be able to have right spirit to the list tonight.
[1:29] You pray.
[1:30] No, that's on Jesus Christ.
[1:32] Thank you.
[1:33] Okay, we'll proceed with roll call, start me, Randy.
[1:38] Randy's straight.
[1:39] Martin became Chris Anderson.
[1:41] Court is shown.
[1:42] Okay, thank you.
[1:43] Do we know it's Tim Pellett in the night or is he out of town?
[1:47] Is he?
[1:48] Okay.
[1:49] And he's not Tom Zimmer.
[1:50] No.
[1:51] Okay.
[1:53] Well, our business for the night is to have the canvas of the election.
[1:57] We're thankful to Ruth Ann for helping with the election and all that went on.
[2:02] And so I think she's got the report she can throw up on the screen with the look at it and then we need to adopt the resolution approving that
[2:10] We'll have there's a
[2:16] There is a form
[3:02] Must not be your screen
[3:14] Trying to get out of the picture.
[3:22] Trying to hold it up.
[3:24] You know what I can do.
[3:33] What is it standing out,
[3:37] just quick from that.
[3:40] We can
[3:43] almost jump it.
[3:45] Now expanding it.
[3:51] Just expand that, all right,
[3:56] all right.
[3:56] This are great talents that we got.
[3:59] Whoa, there you go.
[4:02] Okay, I don't think anybody would be able to do it.
[4:05] Oh man, let's see if can we make that figure.
[4:09] Just a little bit more.
[4:11] Is it just a word document?
[4:13] It's a feedback.
[4:14] I didn't think that we could do that.
[4:16] Yeah, okay.
[4:18] So these are the final polls,
[4:21] and
[4:25] that the Sandwich County put out.
[4:28] And to tell you the truth,
[4:29] I don't think anything changed
[4:31] after the curing and everything.
[4:35] So we have a total of 256 registered voters
[4:41] and 492 were cast, that gave us 75, 246 percent of the results.
[4:50] It was awesome.
[4:52] So the interesting, I mean, that's a lot higher than others.
[4:55] Oh, yeah.
[4:55] Yeah, we were in the audience.
[4:57] I think we brought out the double count.
[4:59] Really?
[4:59] It's awesome.
[5:01] But it's still, it's a lesson that there are not people who didn't vote.
[5:05] They didn't vote.
[5:06] They couldn't change all of the results.
[5:08] Nope.
[5:08] It's true.
[5:08] So, so for the mayor race,
[5:18] 47, I should not be reading the numbers. I'm sorry.
[5:21] Dan Rasmussen had 241.
[5:25] There were, it was under voted by four, which brings us to the 492.
[5:32] What's under voted me?
[5:33] Under voted me is that people, there were four people who passed the ballot who did not vote in that race.
[5:44] So for the 2C, City Council,
[5:48] Laurel Workman had 299,
[5:52] Michael Robbett, 248.
[5:56] Randy has 229,
[6:00] but there were 200 and 800 votes in that room.
[6:05] That's what I thought.
[6:06] Well, how many of you just did vote for Council?
[6:09] So yeah, they may have voted
[6:10] for one or they may have voted for them and then for the the two-year City
[6:19] Council, President Anderson had 250 votes and James Baker 226 and there were
[6:28] 16 other votes to make that now right here you'll see that this is so 200 or
[6:38] 492 times 2 because you got to vote twice is the 9th or 4th.
[6:45] So this result right here, these are the ballots that were returned past deadline, we're
[6:57] 7 and ballots are returned on sign, we're 5.
[7:05] So that's why once did they go back and
[7:09] Yes, the voters to find.
[7:13] Yes, yes.
[7:15] So and this is the county report.
[7:19] So overall, county.
[7:23] Valets were, you know, the turnout was 47.
[7:27] Right.
[7:28] So that's that's where spring city I feel like
[7:32] I brought up the percentage, this is how much the total balance that were counted and
[7:43] these are the different, these were mailing balances, it says mail but those were the ones
[7:49] that were put in the drop box word number.
[7:52] In person, in early voting, we had three in person on election day number 30.
[7:59] The new book called Cava, those are the ones that were not to like military people.
[8:05] There was one that was returned, provisional ballots, those are people that they did not,
[8:14] they weren't registered the day up, or they came in and registered the day up, the election.
[8:21] So that's how many were there.
[8:23] and then this just is like the statistics for the provisional ballots. One was not counted
[8:33] and it is because it was an incomplete question.
[8:39] So these are the statistics of the
[8:43] But now, Kelly, tell us.
[8:46] So did you, I'll see you, they report from Wales, all their candidates were disqualified because
[8:52] they have determined their financial reports.
[8:55] No.
[8:55] So make sure you're in the future.
[8:58] So why do they get it?
[8:59] They get it.
[9:00] They're just going to have point people because no one on the election, the next city can have
[9:05] a transition.
[9:06] Well, what I might do.
[9:12] So this is the audit certification report from this one, it's to let you guys know.
[9:21] So the state told which two batches, they have two batches that they have to pull.
[9:31] And they opened, they got those ballots out and then they have to count them by hand.
[9:37] So, they had two sets of people that were sworn in to do that, and then they went through
[9:46] and they counted every vote that was counted, or that was made, and then they switched,
[9:54] and they both, so they both did each batch, and then they had to make sure that the ballots
[10:01] We're exactly the same as the one that we're taled by the machine, and this says yes, it did.
[10:08] The other thing is, is that on election, they're supposed to do like one out of every 100, but our election, they do one out of every 50.
[10:19] They take one out, and they audit it just to make sure that it everything goes like this.
[10:25] Anyway, and so, so this is her, she certified the report that, that it was, everything was
[10:35] properly maintained in the chain of custody and controls as outlined in the state rules,
[10:42] and that she properly maintained the lower list in accordance with the state and federal laws,
[10:50] And that everything was supplied with the requirements for the software evaluation.
[10:57] And then that's for certification.
[11:07] So this is really, so this is just a pretty neat, more of the same.
[11:12] This goes through each one of the goals, which we don't, I don't think that we need to do.
[11:20] If we go all the way up, this is what
[11:27] you guys will be certifying.
[11:31] It shows how many registered votes, how many registered votes,
[11:36] there were how many ballots were counted, what the numbers were,
[11:44] it was elected, it was not elected, and the ballots are not counted
[11:49] that it's true to the best of your knowledge.
[11:56] Okay. So should we pass a motion due,
[11:59] or would we simply sign that?
[12:01] I think that you should pass the motion.
[12:04] I wrote a motion to approve the,
[12:06] the can't the same,
[12:07] the capital is with the same,
[12:09] the form.
[12:11] I make a motion that we approve the canvassing for the elected officials
[12:15] for the spread city city council mayor.
[12:20] We have a second, second by Randy.
[12:25] Any further discussion?
[12:26] If not, we'll go to a vote.
[12:28] Very straight, yes.
[12:29] Martin McCain, yes.
[12:30] Good.
[12:30] Good.
[12:31] Good.
[12:32] Good.
[12:32] Good.
[12:34] Good.
[12:34] Good.
[12:38] Good.
[12:39] We're going to fill session to talk about litigation to do that.
[12:43] We need a two-thirds vote, I guess, with the more we vote.
[12:51] So, is there a desire to do that?
[12:54] Yeah.
[12:57] So.
[12:58] Okay,
[13:00] so let's make a motion to move into a closed session to discuss pending litigation
[13:06] and if we get the records of vote, I'm going to do that.
[13:09] Oh, nice come off in a week, we'll have a close session,
[13:12] but it's because it's litigation.
[13:14] Okay, thanks for having a motion.
[13:16] My second play, Marty, any further discussion?
[13:20] If not, we'll go to vote.
[13:22] Any straight, yes?
[13:23] Marty, can you, yes.
[13:24] Courtney, can we have you?
[13:26] Oh, can I have you?
[13:27] Okay, thank you.
[13:28] So we have the records of vote,
[13:29] so we'll go into a close session.
[13:31] So thanks all for coming to you off in the door.
[13:36] we're
[13:50] back on zoom. Okay, we'll just close our closed session depending on the location.
[13:58] We're back in an open session of this meeting.
[14:03] We'll be number 18, the Supreme City Council.
[14:08] I think we have no further business to conduct, right?
[14:14] So we'll just do roll college, we can do it.
[14:17] So, Randy straight, Marty McKay,
[14:21] Cornish and Chris Anderson, okay, yeah.
[14:26] So, we've got the roll call
[14:28] and then I just have motion to adjourn.
[14:31] I'm motion to adjourn, okay, motion by party.
[14:34] Second, the second by Randy, I wanna say, okay.
[14:37] Thanks, everybody.
[14:40] Okay, we're done.
[14:41] All right, so I'll let everybody know what I hear from
[14:48] If you could come by spring city sometime between now, you're right. It'd be great
[14:54] Tunnel by the head if we have to be even if yes to meet with two or three shutter
[15:01] I'll get three of us in the two of the hours, one hour.
[15:04] Thank you.
