RE: Declaring Results for General Municipal Election — April 10, 2012
On April 10, 2012, a General Municipal Election was held for the purpose of electing a member
to the City Council for the full term of five (5) years. There were two official candidates:
Michael Ybarra and incumbent Daniel Newmire.
There were 69 vote -by -mail ballots mailed, fifty were received and sent to the County
Registrar/Recorder's Office ("Registrar") for signature verification. The Signature Verification
Unit at the Registrar identified two of the ballots with a "sig[nificant] snag". The City Clerk
determined that the signatures on the vote -by -mail envelopes and the affidavits of registration
did not compare, hence, were not canvassed.
There were six provisional ballots issued and sent to the Registrar for verification. Three of the
voters casting provisional ballots were determined by the Registrar to have registered after the
closing of the deadline to vote in the April 10, 2012, election, and, therefore, were not eligible to
vote.
Of the 51 ballots, that were to be canvassed, five of the vote -by -mail ballots and one provisional
ballot were challenged. The Canvassing Board accepted the challenge of all six ballots on the
basis of non -residency. Those ballots were not counted.
A total of 45 ballots were canvassed: 43 vote -by -mail and 2 provisional ballots. Michael Ybarra
received 26 votes. Daniel Newmire received 19 votes. Ybarra was determined to be the winner.
See the attached City Clerk's Certification of Canvassing for the breakdown of votes for the
April 12, 2012 election.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the Council adopt a resolution declaring the election results naming Michael
Ybarra to the Vernon City Council. Thereafter, I will administer the oath of office and swear in
Mr. Ybarra.
I further recommend that the City Council vote on a Mayor and if necessary a Mayor Pro-Tem.
