Discuss and act on a Resolution calling a public hearing on proposed amendments to the <br />proposed budget for fiscal year 2017-2018. (if needed) <br />Mr. Godwin said he had not received any proposed amendments, so a hearing would not <br />be necessary. Mayor Clifford moved to the next item. <br />5. Discuss and act on an amendment to the Notice of Special Election to change the location <br />of one polling place. <br />City Clerk Janice Ellis explained the county was not going to use the fairgrounds as a <br />polling place, so the city needed to move that polling place to the Lamar County Courthouse <br />Annex. She said that all seven districts would vote at the Courthouse Annex. In addition, Ms. <br />Ellis said the county was going to conduct the first two early voting days from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 <br />p.m. She asked that Council amend the Notice of Election to reflect these requested changes. <br />A Motion to amend the Notice of Election was made by Mayor Clifford and seconded by <br />Council Member Drake.
