Quick wins special election in Walcott; North Scott PPEL passes

Posted

After being appointed to the Walcott City Council in January to fill a vacancy, Joe Quick won election to the council, following a special election held Tuesday.

Quick captured 143 of the 234 votes cast.  

Lynnette Tarchinski, who was a candidate for city council in November, garnered 82 votes, with Joseph Aubry getting the remaining nine votes.

Quick was appointed to the Walcott city council on Jan. 19 to fill a vacancy created when  former council member Jacob Puck assumed the mayor's seat. He was one of two candidates to apply. Two days later, Walcott residents submitted a petition for the special election.

Meanwhile, North Scott's bid to increase the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy was successful, with 62% support.  The tally was 324 votes in favor, with 196 votes against. 

More information will appear in the March 11 edition of The NSP.
