YOU HAVE THE TABULATED, UH, RESULTS IN FRONT OF YOU.
I'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO REVIEW THOSE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
WE ARE, UM, AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THOSE COUNCIL RAMIREZ.
SO, UM, REALLY UNRELATED TO THE TABULATION OF THE VOTES, JUST SORT OF, UH, SCHEDULING MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DATE OF DECEMBER THE 13TH, THE SATURDAY HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR THE RUNOFF.
IS THERE AN EARLY VOTING PERIOD? DOES GET DESIGNATED AS WELL? DANIELLE FOLSOM PROBABLY BE ABLE TO, THE COUNTIES ARE STILL FIRMING UP THOSE DATES, SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION YET.
BUT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT WEEK IS AN ORDER CALLING THE RUNOFF ELECTION, WHICH WILL CONTAIN ALL OF THAT INFO.
AND THEN, UM, SORT OF A COLLATERAL ISSUE WE JUST VOTED TO SPEND, I THINK IT WAS UP TO $2.3 MILLION FOR OUR SHARE OF THE COST OF THIS, UH, ELECTION.
DOES, DID THAT FIGURE INCLUDE THE COST OF THE RUNOFF AS WELL OR WILL THERE BE ANOTHER ITEM? THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL COST FOR THE RUNOFF.
THOSE COSTS WERE FOR THE NOVEMBER 4TH ELECTION ONLY.
IF THERE IS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.
ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? AND THE ITEM CARRIES IN ACCORDANCE TO THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE.
I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT THE CANVAS OF THE CITY OF HOUSTON'S SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL A VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF COUNCIL MEMBER AT LARGE POSITION FOUR HELD ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2025 HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
THIS IS TO COMPLY WITH THE TEXAS ELECTION CODE SECTION 67 4G.
