- Report from Director of Elections on the November 8, 2011 Municipal Election.
Director John Arntz said the Department followed the Election plan and the Election went as planned. Being that we only had a 2 card ballot contributed to the plan going smoothly.

Secretary of State and the Mayors Office Certified the ballot count.
