Clark - City Clerk Alan Walt - City Attorney were present, as well as Mr. Leonard Howe, Assistant Director of Election s of the County of Wayne. Mrs. Clark stated that Mr. Howe was requested to be present at this meeting, as she was advised that he might have some information to offer the Election Commission which would be of assistance. Mr. Walt stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss Mrs. Jean Ward's appointment as Election Inspector for the Primary City Election to be held on February 17, 1964, such appointment having been made at the Commission meeting held on January 27, 1964. After a lengthy discussion, upon motion by Harvey W. Moelke, supported by Alan Walt and unanimously adopted, it was RESOLVED, that the name of Jean Ward is removed from the list of election inspectors appointed for the Primary City Election to be held on February 17, 1964, and this position be replaced by Marie Horgan; and the City Clerk may place this inspector on a board according to her preference; the reason for removing Mrs. Jean Ward being that it was brought to the attention of Mayor Moelke and Mr. Walt by an editor of a local newspaper following a meeting of the Election Commission held on January 27, 1964, that said Jean Ward is the wife of a candidate for election in the Primary City Election, and that a meeting of the Election Commission was immediately called by Mayor Moelke and Mr. Walt for the purpose of expressing their belief that it was not in the best interest of the City or election process to appoint a person so related to serve as an election inspector. After a discussion with Mr. Howe regarding some problems to be faced in the forthcoming State and National elections, there being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:55 o'clock A.
