Minutes of Special Board Meeting

Cormorant Town Hall, Cormorant, Minnesota

August 26, 2002

President Lund called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Directors present for the meeting were Lund, Crothers, Noah, Horvick, Meidinger, Manuel, MacLeod, Poolman and Majkrzak. The meeting was started with the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. Meidinger was asked to take the minutes of the special meeting.

This special meeting was called to acknowledge or clarify the results of the election for board members at the annual meeting. Lund asked MacLeod to report for the Credentials Committee. At the annual meeting the Credential Committee reported that there were 376 eligible voters. Subsequent to the annual meeting it was determined that 407 ballots had been cast at the annual meeting. MacLeod reviewed the process undertaken during the election and noted that she was unable to verify the number of voters from the county property owners list because some of the election officials made two check marks for a husband and wife whereas some election officials made only one check mark for a husband and wife. After discussion about the election process by board members MacLeod moved that we certify the annual meeting election results. Manuel seconded the motion. Noah moved that the results be certified only after reconvening the annual meeting and election. Poolman seconded the motion. The motion on the amendment was defeated by a vote of 6 to 2 with Noah and Poolman voting for the amendment and Crothers abstaining. Thereafter the original motion to certify the election results was passed by a vote of 6 to 2 with Noah and Poolman voting against the motion and Crothers abstaining.

The special meeting was adjourned at 7:25 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted,

Donald S. Meidinger

Secretary
