Staff Report

To: Scandia City Council
From: Brenda Eklund, City Clerk
Re: Set Date for Special Meeting to Canvass Results of the November 5, 2024 Municipal
Election
State election law requires that the City Council meet as a canvassing board to review the returns
and declare the results of the municipal election. The meeting must be held between the 3rd and
10th day following the general election; this year being between Friday, November 8 and Friday,
November 15. A resolution will be prepared for adopting and certifying the election results.
This meeting must be properly noticed and open to the public. Public meetings must be posted at
least three days before the meeting, resulting in Saturday, November 9th as the earliest the
Council could meet.
Any time that a majority of Council members can be present between November 9 to November
15 could be considered for the meeting date; however, Monday, November 11 is a federal and
state holiday whereas no public business shall be conducted.
