I'm gonna go ahead and call this meeting to order. This is the elections and rules committee. It is Wednesday February 18th. My name is Jeremiah Ellison and I'm. The chair of this committee with me at the dice this morning, our council members, Johnson Goodman bender or Sami Schrader, myself, Ellison, Cunningham, Fletcher and Cano, and we have let the record reflect that we have quorum.

So item number 1 is the appointment of election judges. We only have one item on our agenda today. That's the appointment of the election judges to serve in this year's election under state law. We have to appoint those election judges. No less than 25 days prior to the election staff has submitted a list of qualified individuals for us to consider which was included in the briefing material. We're asked to take two actions. First, we're asked to authorize the appointment of the individuals on the list. That was a provided by staff.

Second, we're asked to authorize the elections director to recruit and hire any additional judges that may be necessary between today and the election in order to cover any contingency needs. This is a very straightforward request, however, before I move approval of the requested actions there are. Are there any questions for council members.

Seeing none I'll move to approve I'll, move approval of the requested appointments and to authorize the election director to recruit and hire additional election judges needed to serve voters in the 2018 primary and general election, all those in favor, please say aye aye, all opposed, say no, the eyes have it and our action will be forwarded to the full council for final vote.

This Friday I want to take this opportunity to thank our elections team for their work on this early, but on early voting, that's already occurring so with that seeing no further business before us. This meeting is adjourned.

We will really come together a reassuring in five minutes.
