The voting results were also canvassed by City Secretary Pam King.

There were two other elections on the ballot, for Mayor and Commissioner Ward IV, but both will be in runoffs. The results of these elections were canvassed as well, and a  runoff election will be conducted June 5.

The Board approved a special election order for the Mayor and Ward IV runoffs.
