The Crockett City Council formally canvassed the city’s election returns, administered oaths of office to newly elected members and approved a resolution calling for a mayoral runoff at a special meeting.

The council moved to accept the election canvass and the motion carried after a second. The council then administered oaths to new council members identified in the meeting as Chris and Pastor Ivy; the oath-taking was ceremonial and no roll-call vote was recorded for that item.

The council approved a resolution calling for a runoff election for mayor to be held on a Saturday in June; the motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded and carried by voice vote. The resolution, as described at the meeting, sets polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; it also establishes an early-voting period that will include a Saturday with hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The resolution consolidates all city precinct polling locations for both early voting and election day at the senior citizen center.

Council discussion at the meeting included support for consolidating locations to make voting easier for residents. A speaker identified as a staff member said, “I think it's a great idea that they started, so nobody is gonna get lost,” in support of using the senior center as the consolidated polling site.

The transcript does not specify the exact calendar date in June for the runoff; the resolution text read on the record called for a Saturday in June with the polling and early-voting hours described above. No vote tally by individual member names was recorded in the transcript; the meeting record shows motions were moved, seconded and then confirmed by the presiding officer with “Motion carries.”

The canvass, oath administrations and runoff resolution were the principal election-related actions recorded in this meeting. The council also noted plans for public information about the consolidated polling location for voters.
