Validating the results of Rochester’s Annual Town Meeting is going to require gubernatorial intervention.

At a Selectmen meeting held Thursday morning, Town Administrator Mike McCue reported that board members would have to petition Gov. Charlie Baker to sponsor special legislation. That legislation would ratify votes taken at the June 8 Annual Town Meeting.

The meeting required the participation of 100 registered votes for the first time. The previous requirement was 75. Nearly 30 days after the town conducted business Town Clerk Naida Parker discovered that only 91 people were present. That nullified votes on agenda items such as Rochester’s multi-million dollar operating budget and new bylaws.

Last summer, legislation was filed by state Rep. Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett) and state Sen. Michael Rodriques (D-Westport) that would ratify and confirm those votes “as if a quorum were present”, according to the bill's language.

That legislation hasn’t been approved yet, which prompted the town to postpone a Special Town Meeting originally scheduled for Nov. 30.

McCue said he recently learned that state officials offered a different way to get the results approved.

McCue told Selectmen about the new course.

“It’s an action consistent with the state’s constitution,” McCue said.

Selectman Naida Parker mentioned that Mattapoisett addressed a similar issue last year. A clerical error rendered town election results unofficial.

“So we’re not breaking new ground,” Parker said.

Following the vote, McCue sent out the necessary paperwork to get the petition before Gov. Baker.
