Returns of the elections, <br />general and special, shall be presented to the city council on ~~e <br />:E..i.J;.s..t. ..!<:1o.n..d.a.y.. ..:n..e..x..1;.. -fo.J..:L.o.w.i.ng.. ~id. ~1-e..G-t.ion. any d ate perm i t t e d by the <br />Texas Election Code at which time the council shall canvass and <br />declare the results of such election. <br /> <br />JUSTI FI CATION: <br /> <br />On occasion, having a specified date for canvassing election <br />results will create conflicts with holidays and will not always <br />satisfy state law requirements. This change will avoid both <br />problems. <br />
