The Wright County Board of Supervisors voted to certify multiple city and school election canvases and to acknowledge the Belmont public measure results.
What happened: staff presented the certified canvasses for first‑tier and second‑tier city school elections and explained that canvasses from neighboring counties were required for final certification of some races. The board approved Resolution 2025‑31 to certify first‑tier city school election results and Resolution 2025‑32 to certify second‑tier results.
Belmont bond: staff also presented a separate certification for a Belmont public bond measure. According to staff’s report, the bond measure passed with more than 60% approval; staff read vote counts of 600 yes, 59 no and 8 under votes. The measure—described in staff materials as a $3,000,000 bond to fund a pool and improvements on 3rd Street Northeast—was certified by the board via Resolution 2025‑33.
Why it matters: certification is the formal administrative step that completes the canvass and allows election results and bond measures to be recorded in county records. The Belmont bond certification confirms the local financing vote that will allow city officials to proceed with project planning and contracting.
Board action: the motions to approve the three certification resolutions were moved, seconded and carried by unanimous recorded voice vote. No dissenting votes were recorded at the meeting.
