Once again, historically low voter turnout in Arcadia sends two newcomers to council.
Just over 20 percent of the 29,382 registered voters took the time to mail in the ballot.
The Arcadia City Council has now two new members and a former city councilman won another seat Tuesday night, according to semi-official results of the all-mail ballot election.
Tom Beck received 3,871 votes while Roger Chandler got 3,278 votes followed by Sho Tay, with 3,275 votes.
Five candidates ran for three open seats on the council. Candidates Burton Brink and Paul E. Van were the two losers in this race.
Mickey Segal did not seek re-election and City Councilmen Peter Amundson and Robert C. Harbicht were termed out.
