• • Regular Meeting 2/6/80 5. CONSIDER APPROVING PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 1184 - ORDINANCE CALLING THE REGULAR ANNUAL ELECTION (CONTINUED) Commissioner Tomerlin stated that he had no problems with the names proposed. Commissioner Cline stated that she didn't think that Lorraine Miller was available to be a judge because of her business. There was a brief discussion regarding the names of some of the people that had been working the elections the past few years: Nadine Jones, Audrey White, Ruby Phillips; The fact that clerks are normally left to the discretion of the judge and the fact that Mrs. Jones had helped as absentee clerk; and problems caused due to illness and accidents to those who had been appointed as judges and alternate judges. • The Attorney suggested that the Commission might consider calling a special meeting prior to work shop on the 13th of February, to fill in the names of the judges and alternates and the ordinance could be passed as is now so that the candidates could start filing. He further stated that the ordinance would not have to be published for several weeks. The only pressing matter, if pressing, would be opening for filing, which normally is done 30 days before the deadline, but that is not statutory. It was determined that the School Board would be meeting on Tuesday, February 12, 1980, and the appointment of the judges by the School would be resolved. Commissioner Cline voiced concern over how the judges were being appointed, either collectively with the School Board, or just appointing them. Commissioner Tomerlin amended his motion to read: Approve Ordinance No. 1184 subject to consultation with the High School on passage of the names of the judges and alternates and a special meeting be held immediately prior to work shop on February 13th. Commissioner Cline seconded by motion. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Tomerlin, Kibodeaux, Cline, and Simons. NAYS: None. + + +
