Consideration and possible action to approve a resolution canvassing the votes for the May 8, 2010
General Election, declaring the results to be official — Jessica Hamilton, City Secretary and Mark Sokolow,
City Attorney
Votes have been tabulated by the Williamson County Elections Division and unofficial results were
announced on Saturday evening, May 8, 2010.
The Election Code provides that at least two members of the authority constitute a quorum for purpose of
canvassing an election. As the Canvassing Committee, the Council will be asked to compare the tabulations
provided by the Williamson County Elections Administrator with the Official Tabulation to be placed in the
City of Georgetown Election Register. Once the results have been canvassed Mayor George Garvre, as
presiding officer of the canvassing authority, will declare the results as official. The Draft Tabulation will
then become the Official Tabulation and will be considered approved when the Council passes this
resolution. It will then be signed by the Mayor and added to the City of Georgetown Election Register.
