Consider the adoption of a resolution determining the results of the City Primary Election of Tuesday,
August 9, 2022.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The City Primary Election was conducted on Tuesday, August 9, 2022 in conjunction with the Federal and
State Partisan Primary Election. The City Primary Election included the contest for the office of Council
Member At Large.
The Richfield City Charter Section 4.07 states that the Council shall meet and canvass the election returns at
the next regular or Special Council meeting immediately following any regular, primary or special election, but
in no event later than the time prescribed by State law, and must make full declaration of the results as soon
as possible, and file a statement thereof with the City Clerk.
At the time this staff report was written, a draft resolution has been attached. A final resolution and more
detailed results will be updated once it is available.

B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The City Charter provides that the City Council declare the results of the election.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 205 governs the conduct of municipal elections.
Section 205.02, Subd. 2 states that all City elections are governed by Chapter 205 as far
as practicable.
Section 205.185, Subd. 3 sets the date for canvassing any city general election as
“between the third and tenth days after an election.”
The provisions of Chapter 205 preempt the City Charter; therefore the canvassing of
election results is scheduled in a Special Meeting.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The City Council must canvass the results by August 19, 2022.
