~City of <br /> <br />ITEM 4.5. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Sandra Thackeray, City Clerk <br /> <br />September 16, 1996 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment Authorizing an <br /> Absentee Ballot Counting Board <br /> <br />The County Auditor has requested that the City consider adopting <br />an ordinance that would allow absentee ballots to be processed by a <br />county-wide absentee ballot counting board. <br /> <br />In the past, it has been the responsibility of the election judges of <br />each ward to process and count the absentee ballots for their ward. <br />Depending upon the number of absentee ballots, this process can be <br />very time consuming. The County Auditor has suggested that cities <br />and townships in Sherburne take advantage of the Minnesota <br />Statute 203B.13 which allows the County to appoint an absentee <br />ballot counting board to process the absentee ballots. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance. <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> <br />Council motion adopting the attached ordinance appointing the <br />Sherburne County Absentee Ballot Counting Board as the Elk River <br />election judges for the sole purpose of tallying absentee ballots in <br />Elk River. <br /> <br />s:X, council\absentee.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
