Walton Hills " Two familiar faces were elected by the residents to serve two-year Council-at-large seats.
Incumbent Councilor Don Kolograf, who has been on Council from 2004 to the present,
was at the top of the six vote-getters, taking 23.1 percent of the votes, according
to final but unofficial results from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
Kolograf did not return calls for comment.
Allen, who served on Council from 2000 to 2005, finished second with 20.5 percent of the votes.
Allen will take over the spot vacated by Council President Pro-Tem Kevin Hurst, who unsuccessfully ran for mayor.
"I'm ready to go to work for the people of Walton Hills," Allen said of the win. "I want to thank all those who welcomed me so warmly as I went door-to-door throughout
this village the past several weeks, and also for giving me their tremendous vote of confidence. I will not let them down."
Rounding out the rest of the field was Gloria Terlosky, getting 18.6 percent of the votes.
"It's been quite a ride," Terlosky said of her campaign. "And I would not change this experience, going door-to-door or meeting the wonderful residents."
Former Councilor Jackie Vlk-Maire finshed with 16.1 percent of the votes.
"I would like to thank my husband, Joe, and my family, and those who voted for me for their continued support," Vlk-Maire said.
"In any race there must be a winner and a loser," Vlk-Maire said. "Although I did not win the race, I am grateful for the opportunity to have participated and wish the newly elected Council and mayor much success."
Former Councilor Dave Knapp finished
with 11.2 percent of the votes.
"Good luck and Godspeed to those that won," Knapp said. "Anything I can do, I live on Woodlake Drive, give me a call."
Former Councilor Patrick Day got 10.2 percent of the votes. "I just hope the candidates in office in January get to the tasks at hand," Day said.
