Updated May 7 at 10 p.m.:
Voters decided who will fill at-large Cedar Park City Council seats in the May 7 election.
Corbin Van Arsdale, the Place 2 council member and mayor pro tem, ran unopposed. He received 1,708 votes according to unofficial final voting results released by Williamson County on May 7.
Place 4
Cobby Caputo, an attorney who served on council for 11 years, received 60.25 percent of the vote, or 1,431 votes, according to unofficial voting results released May 7 by Williamson County. Caputo said the election was among those with the highest voter turnout of any city council races in the city.
“I’d like to thank my family and friends for once again supporting me and volunteering their time to help me with my campaign, and I’d like to thank the voters for trusting me to help govern the city, which is a city I love so much,” he said.
Caputo led the 2015 Bond Task Force and two charter review commissions, and has served on the city’s Economic Development Corp. board since 2013.
The budget will be one of the first areas Caputo prioritizes once sworn in, he said. Caputo has also said public safety and attracting new employers are among the city’s greatest challenges he will aim to address.
Kaden Norton, an attorney and Silverado Ranch neighborhood resident, received 39.75 percent of the vote, or 944 votes. Norton said if elected he would work to “reinvigorate” the Bell Boulevard area and decrease the property tax rate.
Place 4 Council Member Lowell Moore announced Jan. 28 he would not seek re-election.
Place 6
Incumbent Kristyne Bollier, a Cedar Park resident since 2009, received 62.68 percent of votes, or 1,515 votes. Bollier spent election day and several early voting days out at the polls, meeting her neighbors, she said.
“We have a great community, and we want to keep it that way,” she said. “We need to get started on the Bell Boulevard redevelopment, as well as a number of other bond projects that were approved by the voters in November. So … we’re looking at some of the transportation improvements, we’re looking at providing additional space for the police department, and then start building some of our parks behind Lakeline … and trails.”
She added one of her priorities after being sworn in will be to help the city attract major employers to Cedar Park.
Bollier has more than 19 years of experience in hi-tech, management consulting and state government with Cisco Systems; BMC Software; Deloitte & Touche; and the TNRCC, now known as the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. She recently served on the 2015 Bond Task Force committee and the tourism board.
Bollier said the council’s goal should be to strike the balance among development, green space, affordable housing and diversification.
Challenger Maria L. Talamo received 37.32 percent of the vote, or 902 votes. A registered nurse, health care administrator and hospital management consultant, she has more than 14 years of experience in economic development and community development.
Talamo, who has lived in Cedar Park since 1999, said promoting growth that diversifies the tax base and providing public infrastructure such as improved drainage in flood-prone neighborhoods are among the city’s greatest challenges she would address if elected.
All results are unofficial until canvassed.
