judge in the past and hand counted votes and added that smaller precincts would make this more <br />feasible. She asked if one of Ramsey’s precincts were involved in the last post-election reviews. <br /> <br />City Clerk Schmidt said yes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if Ramsey had been involved in any post-election reviews prior <br />to this most recent one. <br /> <br />City Clerk Schmidt said this was the only time they had been involved since she started working <br />for the City in 2017. <br /> <br />Mr. Lind shared that if the Council has any questions about anything that was presented to reach <br />out and continue to be in contact with the ACEIT as the Council considers their presentation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell stated that adding additional post-election reviews seems like a great idea. <br />She asked if there was anything that seemed complicated about this. <br /> <br />City Clerk Schmidt shared that a lot of the processes are from the County so she is not sure how <br />much control the City would be able to have over certain components. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen explained that past post-election reviews have shown accurate results <br />so he is hesitant to say that there should be concern that election results are not accurate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove shared that her main takeaway from the presentation is how they can <br />protect elections moving forward as well as make the process easier for residents in regard to <br />precinct sizes. She noted that in her time on the Council there have been four elections and they <br />have only been a part of one review which she finds inadequate. She added that she would like to <br />have more discussions on this in the future as far as possibilities for change. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell said she would like to see a few more post-elections reviews added and <br />to see if that would be an option for the upcoming 2024 election. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked how the early voting process differs from the election day voting. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley said early voting is similar to absentee voting. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to direct Staff to look into adding more post-election reviews <br />as well as switching back to paper ballots. <br /> <br />2.03: Continue Discussions Regarding Proposed Updates to the Personnel Policy <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher reviewed the Staff report in regard to the updates to the <br />Personnel Policy, continuing the discussion on Section 5.8, Severance Pay and discussing Section <br />6, Leave. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / April 23, 2024 <br />Page 4 of 7 <br /> <br />
