ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

In accordance with state law under Subchapter C, Chapter 2, Election Code, the City Council has the ability to cancel the upcoming May 2, 2020, General Election due to the fact there are no opposed races.  The City Secretary has prepared the appropriate certificate certifying that no persons have made a declaration of write-in candidacy, and both of the following candidates are unopposed:  Bob Troyer - Councilman Place No. 1; TJ Gilmore - Councilman Place No. 3.  Based upon the contents of the certification, an order has been prepared for the Council’s consideration to cancel the May 2, 2020 general election, and declaring the candidates elected to office. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council accept the Certificate of Unopposed Candidates and consider the order as set forth in the caption above.
