To be elected, those nominated need to receive fifty percent plus one votes of the number of members voting.
Please find below the Nomination Statement of each nominee. At the meeting, the
nominees will have an opportunity to speak briefly about their interest in serving on Council. While the votes are being counted there will be a presentation and discussion of the Council??s strategic directions and goals.
I encourage all those who are able to attend.
