An agenda would have the names of each candidate, and status. What local options they are discussing- you’d never know.
This is a joke. It’s a violation of the sunshine laws- it’s purposefully vague and misleading, and it wastes the time of the public. There is no excuse for this kind of blatant obfuscation of public business.
UPDATE
10 Aug 15- they’ve sent an “amendment” out- but only their twisted minds would call this an amendment- it’s a date change nothing more.

Still no details.
#FAIL
My understanding is that they do not yet know which candidates to certify due to heavier-than-normal activity.
Looks like the agendas from the Dayton Civil Service Board. The minutes are equally obscure, if and when they ever post them.
They don’t put these records online ? All they have available that I see (not counting election result stuff) is a listing of the meeting schedule…. Was curious if this agenda is typical of all of them.
Even if they don’t know which candidates to certify- they should have them listed for the public record. They check these petitions 3 times- they should be able to post “possible fails”
This is the same agenda they use EVERY MEETING.
They should be fired, as we also know Harsman should be in jail let alone still be the director. Way to take credit for other peoples work with the bright idea award lol. All those trips to the buffet look like they are having and impact lol.
This is the same pattern of deception being used for SEVERAL YEARS not only about transparency of candidates, ballot issues, certification, databases not being updated for years, destruction of documents, such as ballots AND OTHERS, AND OTHER ELECTION RELATED MATERIALS.
Please do check the public records as this can be verified.(Yes there are numerous examples in writing.) Personal complaints, memorandum submitted to the courts, by local, state, and federal, by highly qualified attorneys,single individuals and personal dealings from numerous candidates, other citizens of individuals.
Neglect,and/or misrepresentation, deprivation of rights or lose record keeping of the duties to the office they hold on the administration of the board of elections. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES! THESE VOTERS, QUALIFIED CANDIDATES, and other concerned citizens will not be ignored, turned away, and CANNOT BE BLAMED FOR NEGLECT OF these office holders. The taxpayers deserve better, and it is their duty to do the job in the position that they reside.
I will provide links to this thread as evidence has been submitted, has been preserved, will be gathered, and organized when time permits.
They moved the meeting with an “amendment”
Interesting they have an agenda for a meeting and you say they changed it with an an amendment to what; to change the rules they see fit or to hide something?
Who approved all the remodeling in the basement? The taxpayer pays for the remodeling for a job not well done and for what ends does this prove?
There should never had been any approved fancy remodeling until things are running the proper manner not pretty buildings and decor. Was this also an amendment to their agenda?
One meeting last year indicated they want a new building and perhaps they will throw in a big retirement party.
Thanks for the update.
I find it interesting they can change the meeting times. We do not know the full reasons for why to move it the next day?
In most cases the voters and taxpayers are mostly oblivious anyhow to any changes made, so it may not matter as most are unconcerned about how this affects their rights and do not care one way or another; quite frankly this is alarming.
[…] Once you turn in petitions the rule is you are finished. No statement of your petitions validity is given until the actual board meets to certify. I’ve pointed out many times the agenda doesn’t provide any information – just a repeating worthless document- an outline of the structure of the meeting. […]
