But here is a hair to split, if you <br />will. The council has taken an oath of office to act as the council and that is good for all their meetings as <br />council. The statutes create them as a canvassing board with certain duties, so even though it is the same group <br />of people, they are `wearing a different hat', and may need to take the oath of office for that purpose. <br />Jeannette Bach 1 Research Manager <br />Tel: 651- 281 -1223 I Fax: 651- 215 -4123 <br />jbach@lmc.orglwww.lmc.org <br />League of Minnesota Cities <br />145 University Ave. West l St. Paul, MN 55103 <br />Connecting & Innovating Since 1913 <br />Stay connected with the League of Minnesota Cities. <br />Web , Facebook Twitter Li Bloa <br />From: Mark Karnowski [mailto:mark @princetommn.org] <br />Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 10:42 AM <br />To: Clerk/Administrators <br />Subject: RE: [clerk - admins] canvassing oath <br />Jeannette, et al, <br />I can see where, for instance, the canvassing board for the County would be required to take an oath before <br />canvassing the County's election returns in that they are a composite group of various county and municipal <br />officials brought together for the single purpose of canvassing the County elections. I'm assuming the same <br />would be true with the state canvassing board. But, in the case of a municipality where the Council acts as the <br />canvassing board, they've already taken the oath of office. So I'm thinking that, if that initial oath isn't good <br />enough for the canvassing function, then wouldn't it naturally follow that I should administer the same oath <br />before each and every Council meeting? <br />I'm confused (but you already knew that). <br />Mark K. <br />Princeton <br />From: Bach, Jeannette [mailto:JBach @lmc.org] <br />Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 10:24 AM <br />To: Clerk/Administrators <br />Subject: RE: [clerk - admins] canvassing oath <br />i <br />
