Administrator Achen stated that he is having a difficulty with polling places
because the schools have taken the position that they can not alter their
programming to allow our voting. The City can only use the hallways at
Edgewood for the primary and maybe some gym area for the general election.
Only the hallways can be used at Pinewood too. Red Oak School will provide
a special room. Administrator Achen stated there seems to be a split policy
as to who gets rooms because New Brighton is allowed ample facilities and
Mounds View is not. The election can not be conducted in the Pinewood
School because after the booths and tables are set up you can only get one
person through it. Discussion.
Councilman Shelquist stated he felt a school was a legitimate polling place
and the City should go as far as the school board to get a ruling to use the
facilities.
Councilmember Rowley stated that the Citys request was reasonable and it is a
state law that you can not vote in a hallway.

reappoint them on the election day to make it official.
