From the minutes
“Councilor Egan - Motion to approve Council Order 2020-063. Councilor Clifton - I second the motion. Councilor Burgess - Why is this needed? Town Manager Howard - There was a warrant where you have to have a majority of signatures. Councilor Burgess - Only 3 councilors signed that warrant for a presidential election. Is there a reason why the councilors put us in this position. I doubt they will answer this. Let's tell the voters why this is front of us. Councilors failed to do their basic job. Town Manager Howard - I know there was a conversation with the term disenfranchisement. I take that serious and in this content I am uncomfortable with this term. That is when people take action to not allow people to take action for their votes to count. It could have been avoided. Councilor W. Alexopoulos - Motion has been made and 2nd.
