OVA Election Results: Clean Sweep for Non-Incumbents
The results of the Oakmont Village Association election for Board of Directors were announced early this afternoon at the West Recreation Center. The vote count and tabulation took four hours. Inspector of Elections James Ernst reported the results to the members present in the room, which included several of the candidates, many of whom had spent most of their day awaiting results.

None of the three incumbent directors running for election won a seat and in fact were the lowest vote-getters. Here are the results:
Steve Spanier – 1293 votes – 2-year term
Tom Kendrick – 1205 votes – 2-year term
Marianne Neufeld – 1099 votes – 2-year term
Al Medeiros – 1018 votes – 1-year term
Heidi Klyn – 823 votes – 1-year term
Dennis Boaz – 754 votes
Lynda Oneto – 723 votes
Karen Oswald – 667 votes
Wayne Van Bockern – 610 votes
The new Board’s organizational meeting was held in the same room about an hour after the election results were announced. Steve Spanier was voted in as president, Tom Kendrick as vice-president, Marianne Neufeld as secretary and Elke Strunka as treasurer. The Board also voted to disband the Central Park Committee and the Reserve Study Committee.
