The roll was called and a quorum declared present. PRESENT: Mayor Vandergrift, Commissioner Howell and Commissioner Johnson. Also present were City Manager Shapiro, Assistant City Attorney Cookson, City Clerk Grafton, and Deputy City Clerk Green. Also attending were Commissioner Parker and Candidate Martha Lopez-Anderson. ABSENT: None. ELECTION FOR COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT 2 City Clerk Grafton explained that there were no absentee ballots to count as the Orange County Canvassing Board was taking care of the canvassing of Ocoee's absentee ballots. She reported that she had been present at the County Canvassing Board meeting on Tuesday, March 14 and was advised that no Ocoee absentee ballots had been rejected. She said they had been shown the logic and testing for the 4-C, the machine that does the tabulating of the absentee ballots. All the absentee ballots were run through the machine, but there was no way to get a total until after all the modems had reported in from the outlying precincts. Ms. Grafton provided a copy of the information on the tapes that were returned to her by the precinct clerks. She said Margaret Lord in the Elections Office had advised that the Ocoee Canvassing Board could certify Ocoee's ballots because there were no not-counted ballots on any of the tabulator tapes. She had been advised that, as the County Canvassing Board was meeting at the same time as Ocoee' s Board, they would deal with City of Ocoee's ballots first and call with the result, so that Ocoee can certify the election as to the absentee ballots, because they went through the County's machine and were not hand counted by the City's Canvassing Board. Each tape shows how many ballots went through the machine and the totals on the tapes add up to the total number of ballots that were put in the machine and counted. She pointed out that not all of the ballots in the machine count were City ballots, so votes cast in the City race will not add up to the total at the top of the tapes. City Clerk Grafton then read into the record the information shown below: · Precinct 128 - 972 counted ballots, 0 not counted, overvotes - 0, undervotes - 2 · Precinct 129 - 783 counted ballots, 0 not counted, overvotes - 1, undervotes - 1 · Precinct 130 - 251 counted ballots, 0 not counted, overvotes - 0, undervotes - 1 · Precinct 131 - 298 counted ballots, 0 not counted, overvotes - 0, undervotes - 1 Ocoee Canvassing Board March 15, 2000 #128 #129 #130 #131 Absentees Total Scott Anderson 159 190 4 23 27 403 Martha Lopez-Anderson 158 61 1 9 9 238 Rosemary Wilsen 63 74 5 12 14 168 Total 380 325 10 44 50 809 (Note: There are 2,852 total registered voters in Ocoee District 2.) Ms. Grafton reported that there were 54 absentee ballots returned, but there were 50 votes. Elections office had said there were no rejects. All of the ballots that came in for the City of Ocoee were valid and were counted. But their technicians have the instruction that when they open a ballot envelope to check and make a record if there is only a county ballot. Three were recorded as not having a City ballot, and they are assuming that one envelope slipped by and did not get recorded. She said she supposes that we accept their assumption. She said that the percentage calculation by SOE: Scott Anderson - 49.81 % Martha Lopez-Anderson - 29.42% Rosemary Wilsen - 20.77% She pointed out that a candidate must receive 50% of the votes cast plus one in order to be declared a winner. In order to have won, Mr. Anderson would have had to have 404.5 plus one or 406 votes. Commissioner Howell. seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved to approve and accept the report regarding the votes as counted by the tabulators as presented with the absentee count from the Orange County Canvassing Board. Motion carried 3-0. Mayor Vandergrift asked everyone present to introduce themselves for the record and all are noted above. Commissioner Howell, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, moved to hold a runoff election for District 2 between Scott Anderson and Martha Lopez-Anderson as they received the highest number of votes, but neither candidate received a majority. Motion carried 3-0. 2 Ocoee Canvassing Board March 15,2000 COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT 4 Commissioner Howell, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, finding that Nancy Parker had qualified for District 4 without opposition. moved that the City of Ocoee Canvassing Board make the assumption that the candidate voted for herself and therefore declare that she is elected to the office for which she qualified. Motion carried 3-0. Commissioner Johnson. seconded by Commissioner Howell. moved to certify the election subiect to confirmation of the official results of the absentee ballots by the Orange County Canvassing Board. Motion carried 3-0. (The official results were received and are attached to these minutes as Exhibit A.)
