In the two contested races for Englewood City Council seats on Election Night, newcomer Cheryl Wink ran away with the at-large race, and challenger Dave Cuesta narrowly unseated incumbent and Mayor Pro Tem Rick Gillit. In Cuesta, city council will get a representative who has positioned himself as a budget hawk and tough on Englewood’s water treatment plant “sludge” issue. In Wink, chair of Englewood’s Cultural Arts Commission, council will see a member sure to keep the city’s image and arts climate in mind. The new councilmembers will be sworn in Nov. 20, at which time the new council will also choose a councilmember as mayor.
