The final thirty-one additional votes were counted by the Haines Borough Assembly October 11 in the election canvass. The tally is Hill: 554; Scott: 601.
The election will be certified by the Assembly at its regular meeting October 25. Terms start October 31. And on that day all new officials will be sworn in, one at at time, in the Borough Clerk's office.
There are no formal procedures or policies that guide the transition from one Mayor to another, but I hope to work with Mayor Hill in the interim and beyond to make sure that continuity characterizes this change. The list of "things to do" is long and I am ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work - but officially, work starts October 31.
The Borough Clerk assured us that she would be in costume for the swearing in. The only remaining question is, how should your new officials be costumed?
A public swearing in is planned for the first Assembly meeting, November 15.
