ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION:
A summary of the votes cast in each precinct as well as the absentee votes for each of the candidates is attached to the resolution as Exhibit A. The summary indicates the following results:
Stacey Murphy was the only candidate to receive a majority of the votes cast for Member of the City Council and as such is duly elected to office for a full term of four years. The remaining two seats on the City Council will be filled in the General Municipal Election to be held on April 12, 2005 by two of the following four candidates: Dave Golonski, Marsha R. Ramos, Vahe Hovanessian and Michael Bergfeld.
No candidate received a majority of the votes cast for Member of the Board of Education and as such the two seats for the Board of Education will be filled in the General Municipal Election to be held on April 12, 2005 by two of the following four candidates: Susan Bowers, Debbie Kukta, Nikki Capshaw and Larry Applebaum.
The two candidates for the City Clerk (Margarita Campos) and City Treasurer (Donna E. Anderson) seats run unopposed and were therefore duly elected to office for a full term of four years.
