CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: <br />07/14/2026 <br />5. 12. <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Enhance City's communication through transparency and accountability. <br />Title <br />Adopt Resolution #26-167 Appointing Election Judges for the Primary Election on August 11, 2026. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />For each Election, Council is asked to formally appoint Election Judges to work the polling locations. A resolution is <br />attached appointing Election Judges to serve for the Primary Election scheduled for August 11, 2026. <br />Minnesota State Statute 204B.21 is attached. The statute requires election judges to be appointed at least 25 days prior to the <br />election. Ramsey will have nine polling locations open for the election. Staffs recommendation at this time is to secure six to <br />nine judges for each location. In almost all cases, a few judges end up not being able to work the day of the election. <br />Additionally, if feasible, staff would like the discretion to schedule more judges for shorter shifts vs. less judges for the <br />whole day; a typical judge working the whole day will work a 15-hour shift. <br />Funding Source: <br />The funding for election judge wages has been accounted for in the 2026 Election Budget. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution #26-167 appointing Election Judges for the 2026 Primary Election. <br />OutcomeAction: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #24-183 Appointing Election Judges for the Primary Election on August 13, 2024. <br />Attachments <br />Resolution #26-167 <br />Statute <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 07/14/2026 12:19 PM <br />Form Started By: Katie Schmidt Started On: 07/14/2026 12:13 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 07/14/2026 <br />
