TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members FROM: Staff SUBJECT: 2016 Election DATE: November 15, 2016 I would like to inform Council that Staff processed 114 envelope absentee ballots from September 23 through October 31, 2016 and processed 196 direct absentee ballots (ability to run the voters ballot themselves through the voting machine) from November 1 through November 7, 2016. Without the assistance of Senior Account Clerk/Interim Deputy Clerk Ms. Kris Sweeney this would not have been achievable. Not only did she assist with this process but she also went above and beyond by assisting in set up of the polling place and reconciliations associated with the early/AB/DB voting process. Thank you Kris for going above and beyond during this extremely busy period. For the first time, the City of Centerville had a Centennial High School student, Ms. Ashley Hanson, be a Student Election Judge. Ms. Hanson may be in the audience this evening. Ms. Hanson also went above and beyond during the extremely busy Election Day by providing residents assistance by signing the Roaster Book, handing out "I Voted Stickers", straightening ballots and counting ballots. She assisted whenever requested and volunteered to stay to the end even though her parents were concerned for her school work load. Thank you Ashley, job well done! I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the fallowing judges who put in a long day of work on Election Day and provided residents with the opportunities to cast their votes ensuring that their rights were protected: Shirley Sundquist, Suzanne Seeley, Donald Ault, Marcia Bartels, Norma Essex, Janis Hackman, Ellen Paulseth, Beverly Stanko and John "J.T." Thill. We all had Mary Ann Thill with us in memory. A special thank you to Ms. Shirley Sundquist, her spouse Mark and Ms. Suzanne Seeley who assisted in set up of the polling place prior to Election Day. Also, a special thank you to all Anoka County Election Staff as they have shown a tremendous amount of patience, knowledge, accessibility and guidance during this election with municipal staff and judges.
