LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Two incumbents were voted off the Lakeport City Council and one was returned to the Clearlake council in Tuesday’s election, with trustees also selected for the Konocti Unified School District.

Lakeport City Council members Bob Rumfelt and Suzanne Lyons lost their bids for reelection on Tuesday, while Joyce Overton won a third term on the Clearlake City Council.

Kenny Parlet, Martin Scheel and Marc Spillman won the three seats open on the Lakeport council.

With all four Lakeport precincts reporting, Parlet topped the field with 22.3 percent or 587 votes, followed by Scheel, 21.5 percent, 568 votes; Spillman, 16.5 percent, 436 votes; Rumfelt, 14.4 percent, 380 votes; Mary Nolan, 13.1 percent, 344 votes; and Lyons, 12.2 percent, 321 votes.

Lyons and Rumfelt had faced criticism following their votes earlier this fall to implement 100-percent sewer and water rate hikes over the next five years. The holder of the third seat on the ballot, Roy Parmentier, did not seek reelection.

In Clearlake, while Overton sought reelection, Judy Thein and Curt Giambruno had chosen to retire, opening up a large field of council hopefuls.

The latest information posted late Tuesday night by the Registrar of Voters Office – with eight of nine Clearlake precincts reporting – showed that Denise Loustalot had the race’s lead, with 20.6 percent of the vote, or 1,196 ballots, followed by Gina Fortino Dickson, 16.5 percent, 957 ballots; Overton, 14.6 percent, 847 ballots; Melinda Young, 12.1 percent, 705 ballots; Alvaro Valencia, 10.3 percent, 599 ballots; Bruno Sabatier, 10.2 percent, 593 ballots; Bunnie Carter, 8.4 percent, 490 ballots; and Charles O’Neill-Jones, 7.3 percent, 422 ballots.

In the Konocti Unified School Board race, with 27 of 28 precincts reporting, Mary Silva had 42.4 percent, or 2,691 votes, followed by Susan Burton, with 39.9 percent, or 2,529 votes and Amy Crook, with 17.7 percent or 1,123 votes.

Both Silva and Burton will be seated on the board.

Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley will have 28 days to finalize the election’s results.
