The Collinsville City Commission met Wednesday, Jan. 28th at 10am to certify the results of the City charter change election held Tuesday Jan. 27th, 2004.

City Commissioners Pam Porter, Gail Rogers, Stan Sallee and Brad Overholt were present. Mayor Michael Sirmon was absent.

	Ward One	Ward Two	Ward Three	Ward Four	Totals
Yes	26	13	33	23	95
No	18	9	21	14	62

Totals	45	22	54	38	159

The changes (when finalized) will turn city elections over to the Tulsa County Election Board and establish 4 year staggered terms for city commissioners. It had been hoped that the changes would be in effect for the upcoming city elections in April. City Manager Mike Tinker indicated the city may need to conduct one more election on its own as the cutoff date for notification to Tulsa County and the primary dates (March) for the April election do not match. Tinker indicated he would hand carry the city's proclamation to Govoner Henry in Oklahoma City when it was ready for signature. That should allow the 4 year staggered terms to be effective for the April election.
