Place 1 council member Joe Izbrand and Place 3 council member Kurt May were declared the winners and were sworn into office by a federal judge following the special meeting.

Outgoing council members, Clyde Skip McCormick and Amy McLin, were present, as well as council member Douglas Gregory, to canvass official election results.

Council members Lesley Wenger and Mark Sanderson did not show up for the special meeting. According to the city attorney, it was only necessary for two council members to be present to canvass and declare the election results official. A quorum was not needed.

The election for Place 3 was to replace former Councilwoman Sylvia Gonzalez, who was removed from her seat because she was not properly sworn into office.

McCormick resigned from the council in the summer.
