Mayor Gehrz explained that a special <br />Council meeting with the students will be held at City Hall on Tuesday morning, October 26, <br />9:30 AM and will be televised. The purpose of the special Council meeting is to expose students <br />to local government. It will not be replacing a regularly scheduled Council meeting. <br />• PRESENTATIONS: None Scheduled <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Council minutes dated September 22, 2004 were unanimously <br />approved as presented. <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS: None Scheduled <br />CONSENT AGENDA: <br />Mayor Gehrz said the general disbursements figure indicated under Item G1 should be changed <br />to $63,176.04 because one payable was entered twice. Mayor Gehrz asked Deputy Clerk Mary <br />Shea Kodluboy to describe the purpose of the Absentee Ballot Board. Deputy Clerk Kodluboy <br />said that record numbers of voters are using absentee ballots this year, and to save time and aid <br />the election judges on Election Day staff is recommending the creation of an Absentee Ballot <br />Board for the upcoming election. Absentee Ballot Boards are permitted by State statute and <br />consist of election judges from different political parties comparing absentee ballot voter <br />application information with voter information provided on the absentee ballot return envelopes. <br />If everything matches the judges determine the ballots to be accepted. However, the absentee <br />ballot envelopes themselves are not opened until they are given to the respective precinct judges <br />on Election Day, November 2, 2004. The Absentee Ballot Board, consisting of four election <br />judges from Falcon Heights, will meet at City Hall on Saturday, October 30, 2004, 8:30 AM. <br />• <br />
