| Yeah, we are streaming and good. | 00:00:15 | |
| I'm sorry. | 00:00:39 | |
| Do we know if anybody else will be joining us this evening? | 00:00:40 | |
| Some people walking around. I'm gonna give it a minute. | 00:00:46 | |
| If that's OK. | 00:00:49 | |
| Board meeting. | 00:00:51 | |
| Do you know, do you guys know if? | 00:00:52 | |
| Mayor Alex Stratton will be here tonight. | 00:00:56 | |
| He's not going to make it. | 00:01:01 | |
| Oh, that's right. | 00:01:02 | |
| OK. | 00:01:07 | |
| OK. All right. We'll go ahead and get started. | 00:01:08 | |
| Today is November 18th, 2025. The time is. | 00:01:11 | |
| 6:06 PM. | 00:01:16 | |
| And we are going to get this special session of our City Council started. | 00:01:19 | |
| Today, we have the privilege of being able to canvas the 2025 municipal general election. | 00:01:24 | |
| And certify the results of the election. | 00:01:30 | |
| This is such a wonderful process in our city. | 00:01:32 | |
| And we're really excited that you guys are here that you threw your names into. | 00:01:35 | |
| The race to serve and sacrifice your time for our community, it really means a lot. It's not easy. | 00:01:39 | |
| And we're grateful that you could be here. | 00:01:45 | |
| So we're going to let our city recorder, Pamela Spencer, talk to us about the election results some of them will go through with. | 00:01:47 | |
| Certifying. | 00:01:53 | |
| You are now sitting as the canvassing board. | 00:02:20 | |
| Exciting, huh? | 00:02:23 | |
| It's always a fun process. | 00:02:26 | |
| So let me hand you out. | 00:02:29 | |
| Hopefully you can hear me if it's right there, Tony. | 00:02:34 | |
| OK, good. All right. | 00:02:37 | |
| Got some just a few talking points I'll. | 00:02:41 | |
| Thank you. | 00:02:46 | |
| The documents you were using to your canvas. | 00:02:52 | |
| The election. | 00:02:54 | |
| So. | 00:02:58 | |
| Just a couple quick things before we start pursuant to state code. | 00:03:00 | |
| The Council's desert is the canvassing board and canvassed the election. | 00:03:04 | |
| No sooner than 7 days and no later than 14 days. | 00:03:09 | |
| And with our contract with the county, we received the final results that on that 14th day. So that's why we we do it. | 00:03:13 | |
| The way we do it on that. | 00:03:21 | |
| Some. Just some. | 00:03:25 | |
| Quick statistics. | 00:03:26 | |
| The total active voters is 6. | 00:03:28 | |
| 55,999. | 00:03:30 | |
| And the primary we had 60. | 00:03:33 | |
| 5000 I wish. 6500. | 00:03:35 | |
| Let me. | 00:03:38 | |
| Start that one. | 00:03:39 | |
| Scratch that. | 00:03:40 | |
| 6599 for the general, and for the primary it was. | 00:03:41 | |
| 6592. | 00:03:45 | |
| So we didn't get too many more. | 00:03:48 | |
| Registered voters, but we've probably also lost some. | 00:03:49 | |
| Because they had moved and not updated. | 00:03:52 | |
| Their registration and so. | 00:03:55 | |
| So we almost. | 00:03:57 | |
| We gained a few. | 00:04:00 | |
| So that's good. | 00:04:02 | |
| Counted ballots for 2637 and in the primary they were 1683. | 00:04:03 | |
| So what is? | 00:04:11 | |
| Cool on this is where the primary was just over 20. | 00:04:12 | |
| 5%. | 00:04:15 | |
| We are at 39.96 almost. | 00:04:18 | |
| 40%. | 00:04:21 | |
| Voting for the. | 00:04:23 | |
| For the general. | 00:04:24 | |
| Thank you everybody. | 00:04:26 | |
| Kicking it up a notch. | 00:04:28 | |
| So that Yep. | 00:04:29 | |
| So with that, we'll move into the actual. | 00:04:32 | |
| Report. Let me see if I forgot something. OK? Nope. | 00:04:35 | |
| We're good, yeah. | 00:04:39 | |
| So the. | 00:04:40 | |
| Like I said, the total number. | 00:04:41 | |
| Of persons listed in the official register book were 6. | 00:04:43 | |
| 1599. | 00:04:47 | |
| Total number of mailed and dropped. | 00:04:49 | |
| Box ballots counted were 2528. | 00:04:51 | |
| Total number of in person. | 00:04:56 | |
| Ballots counted and I forgot to show it. I'm sorry guys. | 00:04:57 | |
| Counted. | 00:05:02 | |
| We're 91. | 00:05:03 | |
| We're not showing it to everyone. | 00:05:13 | |
| My bad. | 00:05:15 | |
| I will put this online so everybody will be able to see it, everything. | 00:05:17 | |
| That I'm going to talk about tonight. | 00:05:21 | |
| Thanks for catching that Pam. | 00:05:26 | |
| Yes, I looked up. There's nothing there. | 00:05:28 | |
| That's my fault. | 00:05:30 | |
| OK, we can get it to wake up. | 00:05:32 | |
| Wakey, wakey. | 00:05:36 | |
| There we go. | 00:05:39 | |
| Ta-da. OK. | 00:05:45 | |
| All right. So as I said, total number of in person ballots counted were 91. | 00:05:48 | |
| It was fun to have a. | 00:05:54 | |
| Both center here again. | 00:05:56 | |
| It was, it was, I think it was very nice to have that. | 00:05:58 | |
| Total number of ballots returned electronically were 4. | 00:06:01 | |
| And just to note, in the other document, it does show they did send out eight, so half of those were returned. | 00:06:04 | |
| Total number of ballots not counted were 28 and that could be that the signatures didn't match and they didn't. | 00:06:12 | |
| Get them back to them because they do what they call curing and so they'll reach out. | 00:06:18 | |
| To the registered voter. | 00:06:23 | |
| And let them know. | 00:06:25 | |
| That they need to fix. | 00:06:27 | |
| Something on their. | 00:06:29 | |
| Envelope, not the ballot. | 00:06:30 | |
| The envelope. | 00:06:32 | |
| Sometimes ballots aren't counted. | 00:06:34 | |
| Because they just can't read them. A lot of times they'll. | 00:06:36 | |
| Recreate those the ones that. | 00:06:38 | |
| Are not filled in correctly, that kind of thing, but they do. | 00:06:41 | |
| But mostly it's. | 00:06:45 | |
| Because they were. | 00:06:47 | |
| Because of how they were returned. | 00:06:48 | |
| To them there were seven, if you notice on that other sheet. | 00:06:51 | |
| Which like I said will be posted online that there were seven that were returned too late with the. | 00:06:54 | |
| I'm that, which is nice this time because. | 00:07:00 | |
| With the change in the. | 00:07:03 | |
| Law where you. | 00:07:05 | |
| They're no longer go by postmark. It has to be in the counties hands by 8:00 PM on election night. It's really hard to get the | 00:07:07 | |
| word out but we. | 00:07:11 | |
| We did what we could to get the word out saying. | 00:07:15 | |
| Don't mail your ballot, throw it in the ballot box. | 00:07:17 | |
| So. So to only have 7 returned too late was. | 00:07:20 | |
| I think pretty good. | 00:07:24 | |
| Total number of provisional ballots counted were. | 00:07:26 | |
| Pain. They had 17, but three of those. | 00:07:29 | |
| Evidently, had already voted. | 00:07:33 | |
| So. | 00:07:34 | |
| I don't know if they just forgot they turned their ballot in or. | 00:07:37 | |
| Yeah, change their mind. They wanted to vote different, no? | 00:07:41 | |
| So the total number of ballots counted was 1637. Percentage of turn out like I said was 39.96%. | 00:07:46 | |
| OK. And then you can see up there the. | 00:07:56 | |
| The votes. | 00:07:58 | |
| For Zach Stratton were 1417 for Marty Sifuentes. | 00:07:59 | |
| 1173 the right in it's uncertified. | 00:08:04 | |
| Because the write in withdrew, but they still already had already had 28 votes cast for them, but they don't count. | 00:08:09 | |
| But we do put them. | 00:08:17 | |
| Just to show that for City Council, Brett Clausen was 998. Jacob Wood was 1389. | 00:08:19 | |
| Caden Roten was 861. | 00:08:27 | |
| Ezra Nair was 1002. | 00:08:30 | |
| Parker Mccumber. | 00:08:33 | |
| Was 1460. | 00:08:34 | |
| David Luray was 1348 and the write in candidate. | 00:08:37 | |
| Uncertified as well because he withdrew. | 00:08:42 | |
| He had. | 00:08:45 | |
| Already had 27 votes cast for him. | 00:08:46 | |
| And that is? | 00:08:49 | |
| Those statistics and. | 00:08:51 | |
| You can see that you've got other. | 00:08:54 | |
| Things they do break it down. | 00:08:56 | |
| By. | 00:08:57 | |
| And they give a. | 00:09:00 | |
| Just a general overview of everything for the county. You've got copies of those? | 00:09:02 | |
| And like and those will be online. But then the fun thing we we're going to show you. | 00:09:07 | |
| Oh, it disappeared. | 00:09:12 | |
| That's OK. | 00:09:16 | |
| I know where it is. | 00:09:16 | |
| Let's see if it'll show up here. It might not. It might like to switch my screen. | 00:09:23 | |
| It's not going to let me switch my screen as soon as it comes up. | 00:09:28 | |
| Sorry. | 00:09:33 | |
| Sometimes a lot of fun. | 00:09:36 | |
| OK, let me switch my screen here. | 00:09:40 | |
| Come on. | 00:09:46 | |
| It's not going to show it to me. | 00:09:49 | |
| OK, let me just see. | 00:09:53 | |
| This will show up. | 00:09:55 | |
| Screen share. If I share the whole thing, there we go. | 00:09:56 | |
| OK, as we mentioned, you can see all these numbers. This is the CVS file that. | 00:10:00 | |
| Going into the packet. | 00:10:05 | |
| So oh, it's 59 pages. Sorry. | 00:10:08 | |
| I was exaggerating. | 00:10:10 | |
| But it is 59 pages and. | 00:10:12 | |
| At your leisure, you're welcome to. | 00:10:14 | |
| See which of these assigned numbers voted for. | 00:10:18 | |
| Who they voted for, but I think your better numbers are off of our certificate or the county certificate. Just I just thought | 00:10:21 | |
| that'd be fun to show you that. | 00:10:24 | |
| I wasn't going to print out those many pages. | 00:10:28 | |
| But evidently. | 00:10:31 | |
| House One of the House bills requires us to go in our packet now. | 00:10:32 | |
| So it's just. | 00:10:37 | |
| Literally what did you call it, Tony? | 00:10:39 | |
| So this is a representation of what they call the cast vote record. And so all of those numbers on the far left are the serial | 00:10:41 | |
| numbers that are assigned and printed on each ballot as they go through the optical scanner. And then it gives you a readout of | 00:10:46 | |
| how the machine interpreted those votes. | 00:10:52 | |
| So it's handy when it comes to auditing the results. | 00:10:58 | |
| You will be able to. | 00:11:02 | |
| By tomorrow morning. | 00:11:04 | |
| Or maybe tonight, we'll see because I've got to combine it with the packet after you guys. | 00:11:05 | |
| Certify the election. | 00:11:11 | |
| If I had this in a. | 00:11:17 | |
| Well, I do have in the spreadsheet, but you don't want to know about that one because it's the whole county. | 00:11:19 | |
| Then I could sort it and just. | 00:11:25 | |
| Yeah, but. | 00:11:27 | |
| There are some if you noticed. | 00:11:29 | |
| The under votes. | 00:11:31 | |
| Are interesting and that's their right. | 00:11:33 | |
| To vote for one. | 00:11:35 | |
| Seat vote for. | 00:11:39 | |
| 3 council seats vote and not the mayor. Both the mayor, not the council that is, that is. | 00:11:40 | |
| The voters, right? | 00:11:46 | |
| To do that. | 00:11:47 | |
| And I if I understand it that sometimes they send in their ballots blank. | 00:11:50 | |
| Just to say, hey, look, I voted. | 00:11:55 | |
| And they don't vote for anybody. | 00:11:58 | |
| That has. | 00:12:00 | |
| That has happened. | 00:12:01 | |
| I don't know if the stats are on there for that one, I don't know. | 00:12:04 | |
| Anyway, I didn't even see stats for spoiled balance. | 00:12:10 | |
| Did I miss those? | 00:12:13 | |
| Maybe we didn't have any spoiled about. | 00:12:16 | |
| I just thought of that. | 00:12:19 | |
| You're used to get. | 00:12:23 | |
| Pardon, I'm not seeing the spoiled ballot. You're not seeing spoiled ballots. Maybe we didn't have any this time. Isn't that kind | 00:12:25 | |
| of cool? | 00:12:27 | |
| That's it's unusual not to have some spoiled ballots. | 00:12:30 | |
| And get a number for those, but we don't have any, so I don't know what happened with those. | 00:12:34 | |
| But anyway. | 00:12:39 | |
| So. | 00:12:40 | |
| This will this will be for some. | 00:12:41 | |
| Some light. | 00:12:43 | |
| Reading, uh. | 00:12:44 | |
| Later, right? | 00:12:45 | |
| OK. With that, are there any? | 00:12:50 | |
| Questions. | 00:12:52 | |
| Any questions? | 00:12:53 | |
| No. | 00:12:57 | |
| OK, if there are no questions. | 00:13:02 | |
| I need a motion to. | 00:13:05 | |
| Certify the. | 00:13:08 | |
| Canvassing results. | 00:13:10 | |
| Of the 2025 municipal general election. | 00:13:12 | |
| So moved. | 00:13:15 | |
| Will you read the motion that's on there that I think that would be appropriate? | 00:13:17 | |
| Thank you. | 00:13:22 | |
| I move to certify the results of the November 4th, 2025. | 00:13:24 | |
| Municipal general election. | 00:13:28 | |
| And to certify the election of Zach Stratton for mayor. | 00:13:31 | |
| For a four year term. | 00:13:34 | |
| And Parker Mccumber, David Larae and Jacob Wood as council members. | 00:13:35 | |
| For a four year term. | 00:13:39 | |
| With the exception that one council member will serve. | 00:13:40 | |
| An initial 2 year term. | 00:13:44 | |
| In accordance with state. | 00:13:47 | |
| Code. | 00:13:49 | |
| 2nd. | 00:13:51 | |
| All right, we have a first by Sarah. | 00:13:53 | |
| A second by Marty. I have a quick. | 00:13:55 | |
| Question, it says. | 00:13:57 | |
| They will serve for a four year term, each of them with the exception of an initial you. | 00:14:00 | |
| Two year term does it kind of feel like? | 00:14:05 | |
| It feels awkwardly. | 00:14:08 | |
| Took that off in a different motion, so. | 00:14:11 | |
| OK. | 00:14:13 | |
| So, but I think they understand that state. I can, I can for clarity for the public. | 00:14:15 | |
| What this will mean is that. | 00:14:20 | |
| One of the elected City Council members. | 00:14:22 | |
| Will pick. | 00:14:25 | |
| A lot. I guess we'll talk about that in a minute. And they will only serve. | 00:14:28 | |
| For two years, they will not serve for four years if they would like to serve. | 00:14:32 | |
| For four years, they'll have to rerun. | 00:14:36 | |
| So now everybody understands what this motion means. Yeah, yeah. | 00:14:38 | |
| OK, I'm going to do this by roll call. | 00:14:42 | |
| Jake is not here, Brett. | 00:14:44 | |
| Aye, aye, Marty, aye. | 00:14:47 | |
| And Sarah Aye. | 00:14:49 | |
| All right, that has passed. | 00:14:50 | |
| Thank you. Welcome. We're so excited and happy that you guys took this time to serve and I think we should all stand and | 00:14:52 | |
| congratulate them. | 00:14:56 | |
| I also think it would be. | 00:15:08 | |
| Really lovely if we could get a picture with you. | 00:15:09 | |
| Would that be OK? | 00:15:11 | |
| Our incoming mayor was not able to be here tonight, but we do have a little gift for him. | 00:15:54 | |
| It's it's not easy to. | 00:16:01 | |
| Serve and to kind of lead together, but that's what it takes is. | 00:16:04 | |
| You guys working as a team? | 00:16:09 | |
| And. | 00:16:11 | |
| We'll have to give this to him at different time. I also wanted to thank all of the other people that put their names out there | 00:16:13 | |
| and have served the city especially. | 00:16:17 | |
| Marty and Brett, for all that you've done for our community, thank you. | 00:16:21 | |
| Now comes this really interesting time of. | 00:16:30 | |
| Seeing the casting of lots. | 00:16:34 | |
| Pam, explain it to us. | 00:16:36 | |
| I get to play games. | 00:16:39 | |
| In the council meeting. | 00:16:41 | |
| So I have to have the instructions written out for what's going to happen tonight, but in a nutshell. | 00:16:42 | |
| Is that? | 00:16:48 | |
| We're going to. | 00:16:50 | |
| Ping pong balls out of a bag. | 00:16:51 | |
| OK, so. | 00:16:53 | |
| Let me give you the instructions, you can look at them. | 00:16:55 | |
| They are here, they are printed. | 00:16:59 | |
| Marty made a joke. It doesn't get anymore official than this. Ping pong balls. | 00:17:01 | |
| Very official. You gotta share it. | 00:17:05 | |
| Sorry. | 00:17:08 | |
| I really wanted it to be Utah specific. I asked for there to be like a lime jello competition or like some sort of. | 00:17:09 | |
| Rousing game of settlers, but apparently pistols at dawn. I don't know that would have been. | 00:17:15 | |
| Amazing. I wanted to get a rubber band gun. You guys shoot each other? | 00:17:21 | |
| The Moors, yeah, you got, you got all kinds of things, but. | 00:17:26 | |
| We chose to do. | 00:17:30 | |
| The ping pong ball Ping pong balls out of the bag. | 00:17:32 | |
| And we went through a couple different. | 00:17:36 | |
| Thoughts on this, on how we were going to do it? | 00:17:38 | |
| What we've decided we're going to have you do is. | 00:17:41 | |
| The three of you will come up here. | 00:17:43 | |
| I'll show you the ping pong balls. Show everybody the ping pong balls. | 00:17:46 | |
| We'll put them in the bag. | 00:17:50 | |
| And then Tony will hold the bag and you guys will draw them out, but don't let anybody see them. | 00:17:51 | |
| Yet. Because. | 00:17:55 | |
| We want to. | 00:17:56 | |
| You know, make this exciting and then you'll all, all three of you will show them at the same time. | 00:17:57 | |
| And what the ping pong balls have on them are. | 00:18:03 | |
| There's two number fours, meaning a four year term. | 00:18:05 | |
| And they were hard to ride on, so only did the four. | 00:18:09 | |
| Because they were slippery. And they were. | 00:18:11 | |
| So that's what you get. | 00:18:13 | |
| That's the the two fours. | 00:18:15 | |
| And then we have the 2. | 00:18:17 | |
| OK, everybody see that? | 00:18:19 | |
| 2 fours. | 00:18:22 | |
| Feels like a magic trick. That's what I said. I get to play do magic tonight so and I don't do magic tricks. | 00:18:24 | |
| Yes, that's what we thought about. You know, we thought about Pong. | 00:18:31 | |
| But not beer. | 00:18:36 | |
| Just the cups. | 00:18:38 | |
| If you get it in the two or the four. | 00:18:41 | |
| OK, but I am going to show you that the bag is empty. | 00:18:43 | |
| OK, bag is empty. | 00:18:47 | |
| Nothing. Nothing up my sleeve. | 00:18:51 | |
| Pam, I have a question and. | 00:18:53 | |
| Jamie's not here, but maybe you can answer this. | 00:18:56 | |
| As they cast lots, do we have to certify the results of the casting of lots or do we need to read it into the record? I will read | 00:19:00 | |
| it into the record you will read it in. | 00:19:05 | |
| Yes. | 00:19:10 | |
| OK, perfect. | 00:19:12 | |
| The number 2 is going in. | 00:19:13 | |
| #4. | 00:19:17 | |
| And the other #4. | 00:19:22 | |
| OK. So come on up here, guys. | 00:19:23 | |
| Tony. | 00:19:26 | |
| And yes, there's nothing to shake them up. | 00:19:28 | |
| Yeah, it's a social media. I like it. Come on down. Come on down. | 00:19:32 | |
| OK, we thought about doing. | 00:19:37 | |
| Ballot order, but I forgot that what what that was now. | 00:19:39 | |
| I think it's. | 00:19:43 | |
| Is that what it is? OK, so. | 00:19:45 | |
| Jacob, your first. | 00:19:47 | |
| Is that what you said, Jacob Parker and then David? | 00:19:48 | |
| OK, Tony. | 00:19:51 | |
| Get to play games. OK. Don't. Don't let me see it. Oh, good job. | 00:19:56 | |
| Parker. | 00:20:00 | |
| Does it make it less official if there's a drum roll too? Or is it? | 00:20:01 | |
| OK, nobody looking. | 00:20:05 | |
| All right, all right. Are you ready? | 00:20:08 | |
| Get set. | 00:20:11 | |
| Hey, reveal your numbers. | 00:20:12 | |
| 2 Parker Parker got the 2. So I'm reading in this into the record. | 00:20:15 | |
| Parker will serve A2 year term. | 00:20:19 | |
| David Larae will serve a four year term. | 00:20:23 | |
| Jacob Wood will serve a four year term. | 00:20:27 | |
| Thank you. | 00:20:30 | |
| The Northern Lights are spreading. | 00:20:41 | |
| All right, Pam. | 00:20:46 | |
| If there's nothing further, I'm going to close this meeting. | 00:20:47 | |
| Thank you so much for coming. Congratulations. | 00:20:51 | |
| Thank you. | 00:20:54 |

| Yeah, we are streaming and good. | 00:00:15 | |
| I'm sorry. | 00:00:39 | |
| Do we know if anybody else will be joining us this evening? | 00:00:40 | |
| Some people walking around. I'm gonna give it a minute. | 00:00:46 | |
| If that's OK. | 00:00:49 | |
| Board meeting. | 00:00:51 | |
| Do you know, do you guys know if? | 00:00:52 | |
| Mayor Alex Stratton will be here tonight. | 00:00:56 | |
| He's not going to make it. | 00:01:01 | |
| Oh, that's right. | 00:01:02 | |
| OK. | 00:01:07 | |
| OK. All right. We'll go ahead and get started. | 00:01:08 | |
| Today is November 18th, 2025. The time is. | 00:01:11 | |
| 6:06 PM. | 00:01:16 | |
| And we are going to get this special session of our City Council started. | 00:01:19 | |
| Today, we have the privilege of being able to canvas the 2025 municipal general election. | 00:01:24 | |
| And certify the results of the election. | 00:01:30 | |
| This is such a wonderful process in our city. | 00:01:32 | |
| And we're really excited that you guys are here that you threw your names into. | 00:01:35 | |
| The race to serve and sacrifice your time for our community, it really means a lot. It's not easy. | 00:01:39 | |
| And we're grateful that you could be here. | 00:01:45 | |
| So we're going to let our city recorder, Pamela Spencer, talk to us about the election results some of them will go through with. | 00:01:47 | |
| Certifying. | 00:01:53 | |
| You are now sitting as the canvassing board. | 00:02:20 | |
| Exciting, huh? | 00:02:23 | |
| It's always a fun process. | 00:02:26 | |
| So let me hand you out. | 00:02:29 | |
| Hopefully you can hear me if it's right there, Tony. | 00:02:34 | |
| OK, good. All right. | 00:02:37 | |
| Got some just a few talking points I'll. | 00:02:41 | |
| Thank you. | 00:02:46 | |
| The documents you were using to your canvas. | 00:02:52 | |
| The election. | 00:02:54 | |
| So. | 00:02:58 | |
| Just a couple quick things before we start pursuant to state code. | 00:03:00 | |
| The Council's desert is the canvassing board and canvassed the election. | 00:03:04 | |
| No sooner than 7 days and no later than 14 days. | 00:03:09 | |
| And with our contract with the county, we received the final results that on that 14th day. So that's why we we do it. | 00:03:13 | |
| The way we do it on that. | 00:03:21 | |
| Some. Just some. | 00:03:25 | |
| Quick statistics. | 00:03:26 | |
| The total active voters is 6. | 00:03:28 | |
| 55,999. | 00:03:30 | |
| And the primary we had 60. | 00:03:33 | |
| 5000 I wish. 6500. | 00:03:35 | |
| Let me. | 00:03:38 | |
| Start that one. | 00:03:39 | |
| Scratch that. | 00:03:40 | |
| 6599 for the general, and for the primary it was. | 00:03:41 | |
| 6592. | 00:03:45 | |
| So we didn't get too many more. | 00:03:48 | |
| Registered voters, but we've probably also lost some. | 00:03:49 | |
| Because they had moved and not updated. | 00:03:52 | |
| Their registration and so. | 00:03:55 | |
| So we almost. | 00:03:57 | |
| We gained a few. | 00:04:00 | |
| So that's good. | 00:04:02 | |
| Counted ballots for 2637 and in the primary they were 1683. | 00:04:03 | |
| So what is? | 00:04:11 | |
| Cool on this is where the primary was just over 20. | 00:04:12 | |
| 5%. | 00:04:15 | |
| We are at 39.96 almost. | 00:04:18 | |
| 40%. | 00:04:21 | |
| Voting for the. | 00:04:23 | |
| For the general. | 00:04:24 | |
| Thank you everybody. | 00:04:26 | |
| Kicking it up a notch. | 00:04:28 | |
| So that Yep. | 00:04:29 | |
| So with that, we'll move into the actual. | 00:04:32 | |
| Report. Let me see if I forgot something. OK? Nope. | 00:04:35 | |
| We're good, yeah. | 00:04:39 | |
| So the. | 00:04:40 | |
| Like I said, the total number. | 00:04:41 | |
| Of persons listed in the official register book were 6. | 00:04:43 | |
| 1599. | 00:04:47 | |
| Total number of mailed and dropped. | 00:04:49 | |
| Box ballots counted were 2528. | 00:04:51 | |
| Total number of in person. | 00:04:56 | |
| Ballots counted and I forgot to show it. I'm sorry guys. | 00:04:57 | |
| Counted. | 00:05:02 | |
| We're 91. | 00:05:03 | |
| We're not showing it to everyone. | 00:05:13 | |
| My bad. | 00:05:15 | |
| I will put this online so everybody will be able to see it, everything. | 00:05:17 | |
| That I'm going to talk about tonight. | 00:05:21 | |
| Thanks for catching that Pam. | 00:05:26 | |
| Yes, I looked up. There's nothing there. | 00:05:28 | |
| That's my fault. | 00:05:30 | |
| OK, we can get it to wake up. | 00:05:32 | |
| Wakey, wakey. | 00:05:36 | |
| There we go. | 00:05:39 | |
| Ta-da. OK. | 00:05:45 | |
| All right. So as I said, total number of in person ballots counted were 91. | 00:05:48 | |
| It was fun to have a. | 00:05:54 | |
| Both center here again. | 00:05:56 | |
| It was, it was, I think it was very nice to have that. | 00:05:58 | |
| Total number of ballots returned electronically were 4. | 00:06:01 | |
| And just to note, in the other document, it does show they did send out eight, so half of those were returned. | 00:06:04 | |
| Total number of ballots not counted were 28 and that could be that the signatures didn't match and they didn't. | 00:06:12 | |
| Get them back to them because they do what they call curing and so they'll reach out. | 00:06:18 | |
| To the registered voter. | 00:06:23 | |
| And let them know. | 00:06:25 | |
| That they need to fix. | 00:06:27 | |
| Something on their. | 00:06:29 | |
| Envelope, not the ballot. | 00:06:30 | |
| The envelope. | 00:06:32 | |
| Sometimes ballots aren't counted. | 00:06:34 | |
| Because they just can't read them. A lot of times they'll. | 00:06:36 | |
| Recreate those the ones that. | 00:06:38 | |
| Are not filled in correctly, that kind of thing, but they do. | 00:06:41 | |
| But mostly it's. | 00:06:45 | |
| Because they were. | 00:06:47 | |
| Because of how they were returned. | 00:06:48 | |
| To them there were seven, if you notice on that other sheet. | 00:06:51 | |
| Which like I said will be posted online that there were seven that were returned too late with the. | 00:06:54 | |
| I'm that, which is nice this time because. | 00:07:00 | |
| With the change in the. | 00:07:03 | |
| Law where you. | 00:07:05 | |
| They're no longer go by postmark. It has to be in the counties hands by 8:00 PM on election night. It's really hard to get the | 00:07:07 | |
| word out but we. | 00:07:11 | |
| We did what we could to get the word out saying. | 00:07:15 | |
| Don't mail your ballot, throw it in the ballot box. | 00:07:17 | |
| So. So to only have 7 returned too late was. | 00:07:20 | |
| I think pretty good. | 00:07:24 | |
| Total number of provisional ballots counted were. | 00:07:26 | |
| Pain. They had 17, but three of those. | 00:07:29 | |
| Evidently, had already voted. | 00:07:33 | |
| So. | 00:07:34 | |
| I don't know if they just forgot they turned their ballot in or. | 00:07:37 | |
| Yeah, change their mind. They wanted to vote different, no? | 00:07:41 | |
| So the total number of ballots counted was 1637. Percentage of turn out like I said was 39.96%. | 00:07:46 | |
| OK. And then you can see up there the. | 00:07:56 | |
| The votes. | 00:07:58 | |
| For Zach Stratton were 1417 for Marty Sifuentes. | 00:07:59 | |
| 1173 the right in it's uncertified. | 00:08:04 | |
| Because the write in withdrew, but they still already had already had 28 votes cast for them, but they don't count. | 00:08:09 | |
| But we do put them. | 00:08:17 | |
| Just to show that for City Council, Brett Clausen was 998. Jacob Wood was 1389. | 00:08:19 | |
| Caden Roten was 861. | 00:08:27 | |
| Ezra Nair was 1002. | 00:08:30 | |
| Parker Mccumber. | 00:08:33 | |
| Was 1460. | 00:08:34 | |
| David Luray was 1348 and the write in candidate. | 00:08:37 | |
| Uncertified as well because he withdrew. | 00:08:42 | |
| He had. | 00:08:45 | |
| Already had 27 votes cast for him. | 00:08:46 | |
| And that is? | 00:08:49 | |
| Those statistics and. | 00:08:51 | |
| You can see that you've got other. | 00:08:54 | |
| Things they do break it down. | 00:08:56 | |
| By. | 00:08:57 | |
| And they give a. | 00:09:00 | |
| Just a general overview of everything for the county. You've got copies of those? | 00:09:02 | |
| And like and those will be online. But then the fun thing we we're going to show you. | 00:09:07 | |
| Oh, it disappeared. | 00:09:12 | |
| That's OK. | 00:09:16 | |
| I know where it is. | 00:09:16 | |
| Let's see if it'll show up here. It might not. It might like to switch my screen. | 00:09:23 | |
| It's not going to let me switch my screen as soon as it comes up. | 00:09:28 | |
| Sorry. | 00:09:33 | |
| Sometimes a lot of fun. | 00:09:36 | |
| OK, let me switch my screen here. | 00:09:40 | |
| Come on. | 00:09:46 | |
| It's not going to show it to me. | 00:09:49 | |
| OK, let me just see. | 00:09:53 | |
| This will show up. | 00:09:55 | |
| Screen share. If I share the whole thing, there we go. | 00:09:56 | |
| OK, as we mentioned, you can see all these numbers. This is the CVS file that. | 00:10:00 | |
| Going into the packet. | 00:10:05 | |
| So oh, it's 59 pages. Sorry. | 00:10:08 | |
| I was exaggerating. | 00:10:10 | |
| But it is 59 pages and. | 00:10:12 | |
| At your leisure, you're welcome to. | 00:10:14 | |
| See which of these assigned numbers voted for. | 00:10:18 | |
| Who they voted for, but I think your better numbers are off of our certificate or the county certificate. Just I just thought | 00:10:21 | |
| that'd be fun to show you that. | 00:10:24 | |
| I wasn't going to print out those many pages. | 00:10:28 | |
| But evidently. | 00:10:31 | |
| House One of the House bills requires us to go in our packet now. | 00:10:32 | |
| So it's just. | 00:10:37 | |
| Literally what did you call it, Tony? | 00:10:39 | |
| So this is a representation of what they call the cast vote record. And so all of those numbers on the far left are the serial | 00:10:41 | |
| numbers that are assigned and printed on each ballot as they go through the optical scanner. And then it gives you a readout of | 00:10:46 | |
| how the machine interpreted those votes. | 00:10:52 | |
| So it's handy when it comes to auditing the results. | 00:10:58 | |
| You will be able to. | 00:11:02 | |
| By tomorrow morning. | 00:11:04 | |
| Or maybe tonight, we'll see because I've got to combine it with the packet after you guys. | 00:11:05 | |
| Certify the election. | 00:11:11 | |
| If I had this in a. | 00:11:17 | |
| Well, I do have in the spreadsheet, but you don't want to know about that one because it's the whole county. | 00:11:19 | |
| Then I could sort it and just. | 00:11:25 | |
| Yeah, but. | 00:11:27 | |
| There are some if you noticed. | 00:11:29 | |
| The under votes. | 00:11:31 | |
| Are interesting and that's their right. | 00:11:33 | |
| To vote for one. | 00:11:35 | |
| Seat vote for. | 00:11:39 | |
| 3 council seats vote and not the mayor. Both the mayor, not the council that is, that is. | 00:11:40 | |
| The voters, right? | 00:11:46 | |
| To do that. | 00:11:47 | |
| And I if I understand it that sometimes they send in their ballots blank. | 00:11:50 | |
| Just to say, hey, look, I voted. | 00:11:55 | |
| And they don't vote for anybody. | 00:11:58 | |
| That has. | 00:12:00 | |
| That has happened. | 00:12:01 | |
| I don't know if the stats are on there for that one, I don't know. | 00:12:04 | |
| Anyway, I didn't even see stats for spoiled balance. | 00:12:10 | |
| Did I miss those? | 00:12:13 | |
| Maybe we didn't have any spoiled about. | 00:12:16 | |
| I just thought of that. | 00:12:19 | |
| You're used to get. | 00:12:23 | |
| Pardon, I'm not seeing the spoiled ballot. You're not seeing spoiled ballots. Maybe we didn't have any this time. Isn't that kind | 00:12:25 | |
| of cool? | 00:12:27 | |
| That's it's unusual not to have some spoiled ballots. | 00:12:30 | |
| And get a number for those, but we don't have any, so I don't know what happened with those. | 00:12:34 | |
| But anyway. | 00:12:39 | |
| So. | 00:12:40 | |
| This will this will be for some. | 00:12:41 | |
| Some light. | 00:12:43 | |
| Reading, uh. | 00:12:44 | |
| Later, right? | 00:12:45 | |
| OK. With that, are there any? | 00:12:50 | |
| Questions. | 00:12:52 | |
| Any questions? | 00:12:53 | |
| No. | 00:12:57 | |
| OK, if there are no questions. | 00:13:02 | |
| I need a motion to. | 00:13:05 | |
| Certify the. | 00:13:08 | |
| Canvassing results. | 00:13:10 | |
| Of the 2025 municipal general election. | 00:13:12 | |
| So moved. | 00:13:15 | |
| Will you read the motion that's on there that I think that would be appropriate? | 00:13:17 | |
| Thank you. | 00:13:22 | |
| I move to certify the results of the November 4th, 2025. | 00:13:24 | |
| Municipal general election. | 00:13:28 | |
| And to certify the election of Zach Stratton for mayor. | 00:13:31 | |
| For a four year term. | 00:13:34 | |
| And Parker Mccumber, David Larae and Jacob Wood as council members. | 00:13:35 | |
| For a four year term. | 00:13:39 | |
| With the exception that one council member will serve. | 00:13:40 | |
| An initial 2 year term. | 00:13:44 | |
| In accordance with state. | 00:13:47 | |
| Code. | 00:13:49 | |
| 2nd. | 00:13:51 | |
| All right, we have a first by Sarah. | 00:13:53 | |
| A second by Marty. I have a quick. | 00:13:55 | |
| Question, it says. | 00:13:57 | |
| They will serve for a four year term, each of them with the exception of an initial you. | 00:14:00 | |
| Two year term does it kind of feel like? | 00:14:05 | |
| It feels awkwardly. | 00:14:08 | |
| Took that off in a different motion, so. | 00:14:11 | |
| OK. | 00:14:13 | |
| So, but I think they understand that state. I can, I can for clarity for the public. | 00:14:15 | |
| What this will mean is that. | 00:14:20 | |
| One of the elected City Council members. | 00:14:22 | |
| Will pick. | 00:14:25 | |
| A lot. I guess we'll talk about that in a minute. And they will only serve. | 00:14:28 | |
| For two years, they will not serve for four years if they would like to serve. | 00:14:32 | |
| For four years, they'll have to rerun. | 00:14:36 | |
| So now everybody understands what this motion means. Yeah, yeah. | 00:14:38 | |
| OK, I'm going to do this by roll call. | 00:14:42 | |
| Jake is not here, Brett. | 00:14:44 | |
| Aye, aye, Marty, aye. | 00:14:47 | |
| And Sarah Aye. | 00:14:49 | |
| All right, that has passed. | 00:14:50 | |
| Thank you. Welcome. We're so excited and happy that you guys took this time to serve and I think we should all stand and | 00:14:52 | |
| congratulate them. | 00:14:56 | |
| I also think it would be. | 00:15:08 | |
| Really lovely if we could get a picture with you. | 00:15:09 | |
| Would that be OK? | 00:15:11 | |
| Our incoming mayor was not able to be here tonight, but we do have a little gift for him. | 00:15:54 | |
| It's it's not easy to. | 00:16:01 | |
| Serve and to kind of lead together, but that's what it takes is. | 00:16:04 | |
| You guys working as a team? | 00:16:09 | |
| And. | 00:16:11 | |
| We'll have to give this to him at different time. I also wanted to thank all of the other people that put their names out there | 00:16:13 | |
| and have served the city especially. | 00:16:17 | |
| Marty and Brett, for all that you've done for our community, thank you. | 00:16:21 | |
| Now comes this really interesting time of. | 00:16:30 | |
| Seeing the casting of lots. | 00:16:34 | |
| Pam, explain it to us. | 00:16:36 | |
| I get to play games. | 00:16:39 | |
| In the council meeting. | 00:16:41 | |
| So I have to have the instructions written out for what's going to happen tonight, but in a nutshell. | 00:16:42 | |
| Is that? | 00:16:48 | |
| We're going to. | 00:16:50 | |
| Ping pong balls out of a bag. | 00:16:51 | |
| OK, so. | 00:16:53 | |
| Let me give you the instructions, you can look at them. | 00:16:55 | |
| They are here, they are printed. | 00:16:59 | |
| Marty made a joke. It doesn't get anymore official than this. Ping pong balls. | 00:17:01 | |
| Very official. You gotta share it. | 00:17:05 | |
| Sorry. | 00:17:08 | |
| I really wanted it to be Utah specific. I asked for there to be like a lime jello competition or like some sort of. | 00:17:09 | |
| Rousing game of settlers, but apparently pistols at dawn. I don't know that would have been. | 00:17:15 | |
| Amazing. I wanted to get a rubber band gun. You guys shoot each other? | 00:17:21 | |
| The Moors, yeah, you got, you got all kinds of things, but. | 00:17:26 | |
| We chose to do. | 00:17:30 | |
| The ping pong ball Ping pong balls out of the bag. | 00:17:32 | |
| And we went through a couple different. | 00:17:36 | |
| Thoughts on this, on how we were going to do it? | 00:17:38 | |
| What we've decided we're going to have you do is. | 00:17:41 | |
| The three of you will come up here. | 00:17:43 | |
| I'll show you the ping pong balls. Show everybody the ping pong balls. | 00:17:46 | |
| We'll put them in the bag. | 00:17:50 | |
| And then Tony will hold the bag and you guys will draw them out, but don't let anybody see them. | 00:17:51 | |
| Yet. Because. | 00:17:55 | |
| We want to. | 00:17:56 | |
| You know, make this exciting and then you'll all, all three of you will show them at the same time. | 00:17:57 | |
| And what the ping pong balls have on them are. | 00:18:03 | |
| There's two number fours, meaning a four year term. | 00:18:05 | |
| And they were hard to ride on, so only did the four. | 00:18:09 | |
| Because they were slippery. And they were. | 00:18:11 | |
| So that's what you get. | 00:18:13 | |
| That's the the two fours. | 00:18:15 | |
| And then we have the 2. | 00:18:17 | |
| OK, everybody see that? | 00:18:19 | |
| 2 fours. | 00:18:22 | |
| Feels like a magic trick. That's what I said. I get to play do magic tonight so and I don't do magic tricks. | 00:18:24 | |
| Yes, that's what we thought about. You know, we thought about Pong. | 00:18:31 | |
| But not beer. | 00:18:36 | |
| Just the cups. | 00:18:38 | |
| If you get it in the two or the four. | 00:18:41 | |
| OK, but I am going to show you that the bag is empty. | 00:18:43 | |
| OK, bag is empty. | 00:18:47 | |
| Nothing. Nothing up my sleeve. | 00:18:51 | |
| Pam, I have a question and. | 00:18:53 | |
| Jamie's not here, but maybe you can answer this. | 00:18:56 | |
| As they cast lots, do we have to certify the results of the casting of lots or do we need to read it into the record? I will read | 00:19:00 | |
| it into the record you will read it in. | 00:19:05 | |
| Yes. | 00:19:10 | |
| OK, perfect. | 00:19:12 | |
| The number 2 is going in. | 00:19:13 | |
| #4. | 00:19:17 | |

| Parker. | 00:20:00 | |
| Does it make it less official if there's a drum roll too? Or is it? | 00:20:01 | |
| OK, nobody looking. | 00:20:05 | |
| All right, all right. Are you ready? | 00:20:08 | |
