5 seek a seat at Sun Valley’s table

2 positions on City Council up for election

The face of Sun Valley's City Council stands to change this November as two positions come up for election, and only one member is seeking re-election.

Councilman Dave Chase has decided his time behind the table at City Hall has come to an end, but Councilman Nils Ribi wants to stay.

Challenging him will be four other candidates: Bob Youngman, a former physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory; Stephen Poindexter, a Sun Valley Resort front desk clerk; Milt Adam, a retired mechanical design engineer in nuclear research; and David Barovetto, an architect.

The fact that two seats are open doesn't mean the five candidates choose which seat they're fighting for. It will be an "open election," meaning the two front-runners will win the election. Voters can vote for only one candidate if they want to.

Sun Valley City Hall at 81 Elkhorn Road will be the only polling location. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Absentee ballots must be received by the city on Tuesday.

For election results, look on www.mtexpress.com Tuesday night or in the Wednesday, Nov. 4, edition of the Idaho Mountain Express.
