A. In all elections held in conjunction with state and county elections the state law governing the filing and canvassing of returns shall apply. The results of each election shall be entered in the record of the proceedings of the council by and through the adoption of a council resolution. The resolution shall state the number of votes cast for each person and for and against each measure, the name of each person elected to office, the office to which the person has been elected, and each measure enacted or approved. In the event of a tie vote for candidates for an elective office, the election of the successful candidate shall be determined by a public drawing of lots.

B. The city elections officer shall prepare the resolution stating the result of an election. Council adoption of the resolution shall be considered at a duly noticed public meeting of the council.

C. Immediately after adoption of the resolution stating the results of an election for an office, the city elections officer shall issue a certificate of election to each person elected, to be delivered to the elected person within a reasonable time thereafter.
