Town Mayoral, Trustee Election Tuesday, April 7

Registered voters within town limits should now have their Town of Lake City ballots for the Town election April 7. According to Town Clerk Christina Bowman, approximately 30 percent of the ballots have been returned; 105 out of 345 total ballots as of Wednesday, April 1. Voters can still register through the County Clerk’s Office up to election day, so the total number of registered voters may increase between now and then.The ballot will consist of a choice between mayoral candidates Dave Roberts and Jodi Linsey, and three Trustee candidates: Kaylin Trivisonno, Henry Woods, Nathan E. Wuest. Trustee Jesse Kendall is not seeking re-election, so the Town Board of Trustees will still have a vacant Trustee seat after the election which can be filled by appointment should anyone step forward.There are a total of five election judges: Alice Attaway, Karen McClatchie, Bill Stewart, Rebecca Kaminski and Carol Robinson.Bowman tells WORLD that the earliest any oaths of office can be administered will be April 15; although if it is a close race and signature discrepancies need to be resolved, the swearing-ins may need to be pushed to a later date. WORLD will keep readers in the loop regarding oaths of office
