Setting the Agenda: Addition or Deletion of Agenda Items The agenda was adopted as presented. 3. 2025 Election Recount Results The City Clerk presented the November 4, 2025 Municipal Election recount results. For the office of city councilmember there were two seats open. Randy Rennaker received the most votes. The recount was called based on the close race between the candidate with the second most votes (Nelson) and candidate with the third most votes (Stoesz). The City Clerk noted that the city has seven polling locations and that 14 Election Judges worked in pairs to hand recount the ballots. Both candidates were present for the recount. The machine count was accurate. With a hand recount, voter intent can be determined and there was one ballot in which the voter made a mark next to the oval to cast their vote. For city council, voters could vote for two candidates. The voter selected candidates Nelson and Stoesz as their two choices, so each candidate received one additional vote, which is recorded in the abstract being presented this evening. Motion to approve the November 4, 2025, Municipal General Election Recount abstracts as presented.
