Show MARRIOTT-SLATERVILLE CITY HISTORY NOVEMBER 1999 Cool weather has finally changed the lingering Indian Summer, and as the weather has changed, our City Council has changed some too. Municipal Election elections are held during odd numbered years in the state. In our city, three (3) City Council seats were open, namely, the At-large Council Seat "A", East Council District Seat "C", and West Council District Seat "E". We had 305 votes cast out of about 700-750 total possible voters in our one (1) voting district newly named MSC001, formerly called MAR001. Our election judges, namely, Elna Lucas, Senior Judge; Naomi Eilers, Gerald Bischoff, and LaRae Brown conducted the election effectively and professionally. Glen McFarland, Magistrate, served also as the chief election official with Pam Slater and Duncan Murray. The Board of Canvassers declared the official results of the election as follows: For At-large Council Seat "A", Orvil Holley (incumbent) took 73% of the vote against James Elmer. For The East District Seat "C", incumbent Ren Meyerhoffer lost to Dennis Ilium by only 12 votes. Rob Smout ran unopposed for reelection to West Council District Seat "E". The election overall was smooth and without much incident. Recorder, Bill Morris, desired that the election be handled with a punctilio of fairness and honesty. I insisted that all state election laws be followed to the letter, and I can say candidly that each of the election judges and officials carried out their responsibility with complete fidelity. Weber County suggested we have three (3) election judges per district (for a total of six), but we felt two (2) per district were 335 |
