Longmont Times-Call: Dacono city staff members had to take matters into their own hands and order ballots for the upcoming recall election after the City Council failed to authorize the purchase.

During its April 24 meeting, the Dacono City Council narrowly voted to hire Wilson Williams LLP as special counsel for the June 27 recall election and to rent election equipment for $8,452.

However, when it came time to vote on purchasing ballots for the recall, the council no longer had a quorum after Mayor Pro-Tem Kathryn Wittman and Councilmembers Danny Long, Jim Turini and Jackie Thomas abruptly left the meeting out of frustration.
