Section 23: OPA Elections Subject: ACE Withdraws Msg# 1224449

| The Election Committee is meeting right now. The calendar and the agenda did NOT post where the meeting was. Election Chair said no public comments because no one was in the room. I wrote on chat (and it was read out loud by a member) that the Committee must allow hybrid comments because the location was not publicized on the calendar or agenda. I was ignored. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Kudos to OPA board member Monica Rakowski for refusing to participate in the discussion and vote on the Election Committee selection of ACE Printing to be the 2025 election contractor. As a candidate, she apparently felt an obligation not to participate. Steve Jacobs and Stuart Lakernick, also likely candidates for re-election, should have followed her lead - even if not legally necessary. At one point, OPA President Stuart Lakernick asked if she had input. She said - I'm not getting involved in this. Here's some irony: Director John Latham's motion to move forward with a contract for ACE based on the Election committee vote, contained the following: "OPA President Stuart Lakernick is up for re-election and therefore will not be executing the election vendor contract." You gotta love the OPA board. Lakernick, a candidate, can't sign a contract approved by the Election Committee per Resolution M-06, but he can, and did, vote on whom to hire or not hire as OPA's election contractor. Kudos as well to Cheryl Jacobs, an Election Committee member, who publicly expressed her anger at what took place at the board meeting last Saturday. |
