Destin Log Reporter Matt Algarin reported the results of tonight's election results.

Prebble Ramswell collected 836 votes (19.65 percent) the most votes Tuesday night, while incumbent Jim Foreman totalled the second highest with 685 votes (16.10 percent).

Rodney Braden came in third with 578 votes (13.58 percent), which was only one vote ahead of former Councilman Tom Weidenhamer, who collected 577 votes (13.56 percent). Given the closeness, an automatic recount is scheduled for Friday morning.

Scott Jacobs - 523 (12.29 percent)
Skip Overdier - 298 (7.005 percent)
Matthew Pace - 253 (5.947 percent)
 
The Destin Fire Control District's referendum asking to increase the millage cap from 1.0 mils to 1.145 mils was soundly defeated:
