City Manager Cartwright reviewed Council Letter No. 417
recommending adoption of a resolution certifying the results of
the 1985 municipal election.
Council Member Bunce informed the council that he had
received eight phone calls from citizens complaining that they
had received calls on election day advocating a vote for Mr.
Kirsch. Council Member Bunce questioned whether this activity
was allowed on election day.
Mayor Hamilton asked Mr. Kirsch if such calls had been made.
Martin Kirsch, 6725 Penn Ave., responded that a volunteer
committee ran his campaign and that he had not been ,involved in
any telephone effort.
Council Member Priebe suggested that because the city
attorney was not present to rule on the legality of the activity
mentioned, it may be appropriate to certify all but the results
of the Bunce-Kirsch contest.
Administrative Services Director Devich addressed to the
council, quoting a section of the city charter pertaining to
the canvass of elections. Mr. Devich indicated that the phone
calls on election day would be governed by the Unfair Campaign
Practices Act and did not have a bearing on the action before
the council to certify the election results.
Council Member Sandahl arrived at this time (5:38 p.m.).
Mayor Hamilton reviewed the council discussion which had
occurred.
