It appears that Coaldale Borough Council will have one new member, according to unofficial results from the Schuylkill County Election Bureau.

Tallies show that Republican newcomer Kim Gavornik has secured one of the four seats available.

Incumbents Wayne Figner, a Republican, Clare Remington, a Democrat, and Yvonne Stoffey, who cross-filed, will retain their seats. Newcomer and Republican A. Kirk Waidell was narrowly knocked out.

Vote counts were very close and show Stoffey with 306; Figner, 302; Gavornik, 287, Remington, 259, and Waidell, 244.

The seats have 4-year terms.

Republican Eric Ramirez ran opposed for mayor and received 312 votes.
