A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of
Delray Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 11:00 A.M.,
Wednesday, March 7, 1979, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes presiding, City
Manager J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council
members Charlotte G. Durante, John E. Gomery, Jr., and James H. Scheifley
present. Council member Robert D. Chapin was absent.
Mayor Weekes called the meeting to order and announced that
same had been called for the purpose of canvassing the returns of the
absentee ballots for the First Nonpartisan Election held on Tuesday,
March 6, 1979.
The City Clerk reported that she had compared the informa-
tion on the voters' certificate with the information in the registra-
tion book to determine that the elector casting the absentee ballot
is duly registered in the precinct referred to and that he or she has not
otherwise voted in this election. She had compared the ballots being~,
presented with the record of such ballots required by Florida Statutes
101.62(3) and has determined that we have received all ballots required
except two, and they are properly accounted for. One ballot was
received from Morgan Bryant, who is not a registered voter, and a motion
to declare it invalid is in order.
Mr. Gomery moved that the ballot of Morgan Bryant be
declared invalid, for the reason that he is not a registered voter
of the City, seconded by Mrs. Durante. The motion passed unanimously.
The City Attorney stated that it would be appropriate for
the Mayor to write across said ballot the word "Invalid".
Mr. Gomery moved to approve the comparison of the absentee
ballots presented with the information required by Florida Statute
101.62 as prepared by the City Clerk's Office, and have that comparison
attached to the minutes of this meeting, as part of the record, seconded
by Mr. Scheifley. The motion passed unanimously.
The City Clerk presented the absentee ballots, and noted
that 37 absentee ballots were issued, 2 were not returned, and 1 was
marked "Invalid".
The results of the absentee ballots are as follows:
Malcolm T. Bird 24
Clifford H. Durden 8
Nancy Gail Kortessis 5
Willard V. Young 28
TOTAL ABSENTEE VOTES CAST: 65
TOTAL BALLOTS CAST: 34
Mrs. Durante moved to approve the results as recited .by the
Mayor, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. The motion passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:16 A.M.
