As a result of the vacancy in the Ward 1 office, and because more than 365 days remain in <br />the term of the vacated office, pursuant to City Charter requirement, the City Council directed that a special <br />election be held in Ward 1.

A <br />resolution is attached appointing election judges to serve for the Special Election scheduled for February 9, 2021. <br />Minnesota State Statute 20413.22 is attached. The statute references the number of election judges that are required <br />under the law. In this case, the minimum number of judges required is three per polling location. Ramsey will have <br />two polling locations open for the election. Staff s recommendation at this time is to secure approximately ten <br />election judges. Staff requests the Council authorize staff to train and hire additional election judges not named <br />here, should the need arise. <br />Note: The last day to appoint election judges is Friday, January 15, 2021. <br />Funding Source: <br />Monies have been budgeted in the General Fund under Elections for Election expenses and Election Judge pay. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends Council adopt the Resolution appointing Election Judges for the 2021 Special Election. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #21-016 Appointing Election Judges for the Special Election on February 9, 2021. <br />Resolution #21-016 <br />Statute 204B .22 <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Colleen Lasher Colleen Lasher 01/06/2021 04:59 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 01/07/2021 10:29 AM <br />Form Started By: Katie Schmidt Started On: 12/31/2020 02:34 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/07/2021 <br />
