Clerk's August 2010 Staff Report <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />---------------------------------- - - - - -- <br />PROJECTS: <br />Elections — The Primary Election was held on August 10th. Pequot Lakes had a voter turn <br />out of 16% - 197 voters out of 1,229 registered voters. The registration judges registered <br />15 new voters. Although this seems like a low turn out, this is typical of a primary <br />election. <br />I expect the General Election to have a much higher turnout. At the last General Election <br />in 2008, the registration judges registered 287 new voters and there were 1,127 voters <br />which is a 74% voter turnout. <br />Filing for Office — Filing for municipal office closed on August 17th . The following is a <br />list of candidates for the Council and Mayor races: <br />MAYOR <br />• Nancy Adams <br />• Brenda Myers <br />• Jack Schmidt <br />COUNCIL MEMBER — 4 YEAR TERM — (two seats open) <br />�' • Jerry Akerson <br />• John Derksen <br />• Sean Kaneski <br />• Scott Pederson <br />• Dave Sjoblad <br />• Wes Wilson <br />Budgets — At the Budget work session, the Council reviewed the preliminary budgets and <br />made recommendations for reducing the levy amount. Nancy Malecha and I have met <br />with department heads to review the Council recommendations. The Council must set a <br />preliminary levy by September 15th. We are hoping that this can be set at the September <br />7th Council meeting. <br />Office Remodeling — The Clerk's office has planned a small office remodeling project. <br />The purpose of the project is to enlarge the Finance Director's office. The project will <br />also include purchase of modular furniture for the office. The cost of the remodel and <br />furniture is a budgeted item and will come out of the Clerk's budget. The maintenance <br />department will be doing the remodeling. <br />Clerk's Staff <br />• Reports from the Clerk's staff are attached <br />NO <br />
