SUMMARY
On April 17, 2018, City Council approved a resolution appointing deputy city clerks for the purposes of
serving on the absentee ballot board and administering the 2018 elections. Staff is recommending that
additional names be added to the list to assist in the election process this year.
Minnesota Statute 203B.121 allows for deputy city clerks to be members of the Absentee Ballot Board if
they have had training in processing and counting of absentee ballots. In anticipation of high numbers of
absentee ballots due to the 2014 election law change that allows for “no excuse” absentee voting, staff
recommends the following city employees and/or positions be appointed deputy city clerks for the
duration of the election season;
• Emmy Foster, Assistant City
Administrator
• Jackie Kaderlik, HR Coordinator
• Julie Kish, Temporary Elections Assistant
• Jennie Loeffler, Payroll Clerk
• Roxie Maxa, Utility Billing Clerk
• Kennedy McCarthy, Temporary
Elections Assistant
• Denise Werner, Utility Billing Clerk
