##VIDEO ID:LiVl4hfCJVs## just one question on the last part you you said that even if the recount doesn't change who was or wasn't elected we still have to rec canvas that because the numbers changing correct so we're going to do it tonight we got to do it again in our next meeting well if someone requests a recount oh okay yeah okay then and then once the recount is done if requested we would need to rec canvas if the numbers change from what all of the counties and the secretary state's office initially reported okay I have a question um if I recall Sherburn County also talked about paying for uh the areas that uh elections flipped with the that update that occurred Thursday night are you aware of that so um the county is choosing to do their own recounting for their purposes yep they've now done that that's my understanding from the county we now have their numbers and so anything that they would be paying for is on their end and it's voluntarily it or it's something that they're doing on their own has nothing to do with the district so the information I provided tonight deals specifically with now we've done this if a request is made we would be fully responsible no one else the counties the and the Secretary of State we would be responsible for all funds and that's the way the uh statute is written yeah I was at the canvasing committee meeting at one o'clock today at the government center and I don't if I recall I don't think they did the recount yet okay because they were talking about a manual hand recount which is going to take a little bit of time so there's three affected areas in Shor County 14b house district the Baldwin Township and then our district so I don't know what that would do to affect the cost yeah that that would have nothing it's a really good question that would have nothing to do with the cost because that's all the county so if a person after they do that after everything's finalized everyone in all the counties have canvased this is very specific to say if someone says yeah we know you did that we're going to request a recount and that recount is across all it's not just ac across one County and so then anything that they paid for on their own to see if they could make things right or or make sure that they had updated numbers would have no impact on the school district so if if they updated their accounts let's say their accounts happen to change would if I recall that would be uploaded to the Secretary of State so we don't use those numbers we use the numbers that they gave us that they have certified so we we've given we've been given those account those numbers so they're saying okay we know we had something happen right we're going to choose to do that wor in order for someone to be able to to get a recount we're using the numbers that they provided and the Secretary of State verified so we're getting those numbers they're providing them to us the board would be accepting those and then if there was a change we would need to do that but the questions around expenses if anyone requests and it falls under the public funded because of those the difference in the numbers we would be solely responsible and the county and the secretary state would have zero zero responsibility for paying for that gotta so the County's doing it for their misadministration and then we would do it because the numbers are so close if the candidates choose if it's requested by a particular candidate to do so in which case it would be my understanding it would be a separate recount requested which we would be solely responsible for paying so let me let me reiterate so um if a person were to request it whether it was close or whether it was long the school district would still be responsible for it doesn't matter the only thing that's different is because it's close between two candidates we would have to pay for it all if it was larger and not within the0 five they can request it but then they have to fund it oh okay it's not at the school district's expense okay that Mak Sense quick question um when When selecting those that would be involved or what's the process for selecting those that would be involved um namely um election judges yeah good question so we would be responsible for hiring all the election judges and the election judges have already been approved by the county so there are rules around what that looks like in terms of even bipartisan support and judges um and then in terms of uh the other things like the canvasing board we'd be responsible for it's pretty specific on who has to be involved with that for example a mayor has to be involved and you know those those types of things um so that's pretty specific and then the recount really uh from the Secretary of State's office is really about viewing the people that are in the room for it are the candidates for example and they have an opportunity to bring a person with them for example Etc so the school district would need to make it viewable for folks and it would be open to the public but the actual level of interaction with the candidates or the ballots would be limited yes so I would just um just kind of again uh throw it to the to the board in full trans transparency that if it were selected from an election judge standpoint though um a uh sitting person as as a seated person in any position could actually be an election judge a candidate cannot um I would ask that if anybody on this board is an election judge that they would not participate in the recount um just to ensure kind of third party Separation on that and if I recall the county will provide the facilities to do that it's up to the school district to arrange for and find the facilities the uh is in under no obligation to provide it but they may be willing to yes I talked to the County Administrator Bruce and he mentioned that we would they would Supply something for us if I was they would be they would be willing to supply something for us yep that's which was great to know any other questions or comments for Dr bitman thank you for explaining the process I think it was very helpful for everybody and it's it's it's so confusing with all the turmoil going on in the county right now I agree wonderful thank you Dr bitman we'll move on to Item B this evening Schoolboard member reports first up is the public
