Background/Summary: 

After the last municipal election, a review was conducted of the composition of the canvassing boards of surrounding municipalities. A summary of the findings are attached for your review.   Please note the City of Riviera Beach is the only municipality permitting its city clerk to appoint an elected official to the canvassing board.  

Attached is proposed Ordinance 4174. The proposed ordinance deletes the City Clerk’s ability to appoint a council member to the canvassing board and gives the authority to the City Council to appoint a member of the elective body or whomever is desired to the canvassing board.

In the ordinance, you will also find, the provision for the appointment of an alternate is also included in the event any member of the board is unable to serve.  However, it is imperative all members of the Canvassing Board, to include the alternate member, has not nor does not participate or is currently active in any campaigning activities for a candidate listed on the ballot.

Also attached, you will find communication from PBCSOE Wendy Sartory Link proffering the County Canvassing Board serving as the canvassing board for municipal elections. This option was not included in the proposed ordinance; however, the City Council has the authority to select this option.

 

Mrs. Link will be present at the August 18, 2021 City Council Meeting to provide clarity on her purpose for submitting this option.
