Madame vice mayor we have no public comment on this item okay and just to recap this is uh the staff report for uh the city council and city manager canvas of returns and Declaration of results from the June 11th 2024 City of Reno primary election so um tell us a little bit about I know we got a report from the um interim regist of Voters at the county Madam clerk um correct so this is more just procedural and administrative process um outlined in NRS 293 and 293c um so essentially it's just required by this body to um approve or certify the election results that have been provided by our vendor if you will the waso county RAR of Voters um so the report is has been distributed to you here um everybody should have a paper copy as well additionally it should be noted that um yesterday while there were audits being completed by the was County RAR voter they noticed that some of the cured ballots um were accounted for but not counted into the result and so they were able to make that correction and they made a new distribution last night around 8:00 um updated the totals on on to the website at the same time um and so the um results that you have in front of you are the final unofficial until you guys certify it but the final results okay and can you tell us um do you know if it it changed the outcome of any race I reviewed all of this yesterday before that it did not nope there was I think it was a very small number of cured um ballots that had just not been counted in so I don't know that it had any large impact on any of the the numbers okay I mean some numbers change but not enough to change the results corre many okay that's what I want to know let me ask if there are any um comments or questions from any of our council members on the results okay I I just want to say um I appreciated the timeliness with which it was done I in comparison to some past years I think the process where counties were allowed to start counting uh the morning of the voting the primary day uh facilitated um posting the results a little quicker than for example two years ago I know that we were waiting uh for days yep uh while ballots came in which we still need to do by law wait four days um after the primary and I think that fourth day was last Friday is that right um that's correct yeah so but results were available quite quickly and it it seemed to be the majority of results yeah so so the primary difference was that they were able to start tabulating the early votes um whereas in to your point last year they were not able to start tabulations at all or processing ballots until the close of um the election so there was a change made from the secretary of state that allowed registrars or um County clerks to start counting the early vote earlier excuse me all right well with that excuse me with that said just give me with that said I just wonder if we have any jeez gonna have to give me another second all right with that said uh do we have any further discussion or comments on this item ready for the question all right I'm looking for a motion please move all right motion from council member breus a second and second from council member eert and any questions or comments from those online all right all in favor please say I I I I I all right any oppos all right motion passes unanimously and we are now on to uh item C public comment again final public comment and again Madame clerk I'm asking if you have received any uh public comment thank you madam vice mayor we've not received any additional public comment we do not have any hands raised in Zoom so we're closing item C public comment moving on to item D motion to adjourn okay can I get a motion please move all right council member breus move council member Ebert second all in favor please say I I I any opposed all right motion passes unanimously um we appreciate everybody's attendance today and uh congratulations um on another well-conducted election all right goodbye
