-Canvass Lecompton City General Election
The Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County met in special session with all members present.
The purpose of the special meeting was to canvass the results of the Lecompton General Election which was held on Tuesday, April 6, 2004.
There were five (5) provisional ballots. Patty Jaimes, County Clerk, recommended that four (4) of which be counted. These were voters that either moved and failed to re-register or had a name change. Jaimes then recommended that the remaining one (1) not be counted. This was a new registrant. It should be noted that these recommendations are consistent with past actions.
Jaimes also advised the Board there was a tie between Ed Smith and Leah Ann Nichols for the 3rd place seat on the Lecompton City Council.
Jones made a motion that Ms. Jaimes' recommendations be approved; Motion was seconded by Johnson and carried unanimously.
It should be noted that after the additional ballots were counted, Ed Smith was declared the winner of the 3rd place seat. No errors were found.
Jones made a motion to adjourn; Johnson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
