CREMONA – The Nov. 25 Village of Cremona byelection resulted in three people being elected to council, according to tabulations posted to the municipality’s website Monday evening.
Robert Reid had 83 votes beating out Larry Steeves’ 43 votes for the position of mayor.
Eric Martin was elected with 67 votes and Derald Anderson was elected with 53 votes for the two open councillor positions.
Other contenders included Bonnie Akkus who garnered 44 votes, Christiana Liu who got 40 votes and Andy Lacey who got 34 votes.
In August, former mayor Tim Hagen as well as deputy mayor Joe Canaday and Coun. Jody Dick submitted their resignations. Councillors Shane Goebel and Autumn Schmidt had remained on the council that was left without quorum and thus no longer had the legislative authority to make decisions or take any actions.
Municipal Affairs subsequently stepped in and later appointed an interim administrator to carry out council duties alongside the municipality’s staff so the village could continue to conduct its business.
A byelection was called for Nov. 25.
Results will become official Tuesday at noon.
