The unofficial results of the 2017 election are now posted at the Oakland County clerk’s office. Visit their website for all the results in the county. For readers of The Community Edge, there were no elections in Oakland Township, however here are the results for the City of Rochester and the City of Rochester Hills.
For the City of Rochester Council, the top three voters – Nancy L. Salvia, Dean Bevazque, and Stuart Bikson – will receive 4-year terms, and the fourth top spot will go to Ann Peterson, who will receive a 2-year term. The two remaining candidate on the ballot – Tammy Byers and Lynn Campo – will have to look at other ways to serve the community, as they did not have enough votes to win a seat on council.
