Taken together these two offsetting changes would leave the budget essentially unaffected. On a motion by the chair, seconded by the secretary, these changes were unanimously approved by the board. Other items in the Elections Director’s report, to include a review of election official (EO) evaluations, were deferred until the next meeting. Copies of the EO evaluations prepared by the chief election officials were distributed to the board members for their review prior to the next meeting. Appointment of Officers of Election Although the recruitment of additional officers of election has been suspended because the current roster contains more than enough qualified officers for the 2017 elections, seven unsolicited applications have been received and were reviewed by the board. The chair moved that these seven be appointed. The motion was seconded by the vice-chair and approved unanimously. The following individuals were appointed: Kendall Bills Suzanne Whitmore Jones Aron Kingsley Kitry Krause Ambar La Forgia Adam Leive Philip Varner Of the current list of officers, seven have reached the end of their terms. They have been notified of this by mail and asked if they desire reappointment. One has declined, one, Sandra Morris, has accepted and the others have not yet responded. The chair moved to reappoint Ms. Morris and to table consideration of the other five until they respond. This motion was seconded by the vice-chair and approved unanimously. Report by the General Registrar The registrar provided an update on the budget, a report on current registration numbers and an analysis of the pace of voter registration gains over the past year. Also included were projected staff training, plans for conduct of the June 13 primary and prospects for obtaining additional storage space for voting equipment. No actions were requested of the board. Next Meeting The next meeting of the Board will take place at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 8, 2017.
