September 30, 2011 - Friday was the deadline for nomination papers for the Third Member of the retirement board and we received papers from only one person – Mary Stokarski for re-election (Thank you Mary), so the election is over and there is no need to meet again. What happens next is that we will review the signatures on Mary’s nomination papers and bring them to the November meeting for the full Advisory Council to verify that the signatures are all of valid members or retirees, after which, Herb Sanderson, Council Chairman, will declare Mary the winner of the election. Thank you to Ronnie LaChance, Denise LeDuc, Linda Gross, Pat Auchard, and Bob Taylor for making themselves available in case we needed to run a full election.
August 2011 – The various positions on our retirement board are filled by both election and appointment. It is now time to conduct a regular, three-year election for the “third member” of the board. As of this writing, the current member in that position, Mary Stokarski, is planning to run for re-election. It is the responsibility of the Advisory Council of the retirement system to run the elections for elected board members. The Advisory Council is made up of the treasurers of each of the units (towns and agencies) that belong to the system. Note: If there is only one qualified, nominated candidate, they are declared the winner and there is no need to send out ballots.
