The City Council met on October 19th in an abbreviated session to several items including to accept the votes from the election on October 6, 2009. There was a recount for the school board race in Ward 2. The recount was held during the public session and the ballots were sealed in a box, since election day. Councilors Leblanc and Rabinowitz observed standing at the table with the counters and Candidate Ryan Fairchild, who requested the new count. Councilor Feener assisted with the recount.
The recount was completed and the results stand that Desiree McLaughlin won the school board seat by one vote. The final count is as follows:
Desiree McLaughlin - 118
Ryan Fairchild - 117
Lawrence McGrath - 26
Alan Davis - 1
Don't ever let anyone tell you your vote does not count.
There were some other items covered during the council meeting and I will be more in depth soon.
