position one George Scott with 1475 votes in position to Rebecca Fox with
two thousand two hundred and forty nine votes any discussion hearing then we'll
proceed to vote all those in favor raise your right hand and say aye aye
as opposed motion passes two to zero I've received and approved a petition
requesting a recount for the race of trustee position one followed by Joe
Adams. A request for recount does not delay our canvas today, but the board
must make note of the canvas record that a record, I'm sorry, that a recount has
been requested and that I will now do. No candidate may receive a certification of
election or qualify for an office involved in a recount until the recount
is completed. If the recount changes the number of votes received by a candidate
and the race subject to recount, regardless of a change in outcome of
that race the board must conduct another canvas for the office involved as soon as practical
after completion of the recount using the recount committee report as allowed by election code

supervisor coordinator that moves us to section 3.2 consider board certification the may 7 2016

Board of Trustees election for position two, whereas Rebecca Fox was duly elected.
