Krause D Further, that it is the intent of the Election Commission to name persons to serve as alternates to those appointed in the event said appointees may be unavailable on election day, and this Commission will again meet on Tuesday, March 17, 1964, at 3:00 P. M. for said purpose. The City Attorney made the following statement: "I have certain other questions that had been submitted in a communication to the Chairman and I believe have not been fully answered; although some answer has been given. I think the Board is in need of further knowledge as to practices in this, specifically the State statute provides the responsibility for the placing of the ballots and the rotation of candidates on the ballot for the election. While we have received certain information, we have not had the opportunity to discuss it. This is essential. Next point that needs further discussion, we have requested that members of this Commission be present when the machines are opened by the custodians and the ballots removed and the A. V.'s removed. We have not been given that information. However, we are not only interested in that, but we are interested in inspecting the machines before the election, as well. I think these are matters that only the Chairman of this Commis- sion can give the answers to and knowledge of this only the Chairman of this Commission has. It would be my hope that she would be here tomorrow so that these matters can be discussed. Otherwise, it seems to me that we have no alternative than to ask the State to look into this. If this Commission is frustrated by the Chairman refusing to pro- vide answers to these inquiries or by using some excuse to leave the meeting so we can- not discuss this, I think we will have to ask the aid of the State in this area. I would want the minutes to so state . . . . I want the minutes to reflect that the Chair- man meet with us for the purpose of discussing the two matters requested. I would hope you would inform her of the meeting tomorrow and the fact that we desire to discuss rotations of candidates on the ballots and time and place of inspection of machines as well as alternate election inspectors." The Deputy City Clerk, who was also present, informed the Commissioners that Mrs. Clark would be so informed. The meeting was adjourned to Tuesday, March 17, 1964 at 3:00 P. M., at approximately 3:25 P. M., March 16, 1964. / Marie W. Clark, City Clerk Aarvey W. Moelke, Mayor Alan Walt, City Attorney
