Kordonowy will not seek a third term, special election ballots due today
May 19 2009
On Monday evening, Darlene Kondonowy announced that she would not seek a third term as mayor of Bainbridge Island.
Her announcement came on the eve of a form-of-government vote that could remove the position of mayor from Bainbridge's local government.
Previously, Kordonowy had said she had strong inclinations to run again, despite the vote which could see the current mayor/council form of government become a council/manager system.
Kordonowy is expected to release a formal statement later today, the same day ballots are due for the May 19 Special Election.
Bainbridge voters are also deciding on a $42 million Bainbridge Island School District capital bond that will be spent on rebuilding Wilkes elementary school.
Mail in-ballots for the May 19th election must be postmarked today.
According to the Kitsap County Auditor, preliminary results for both the BISD $42 million capital bond and Bainbridge's form-of-government will be released online by 8:15 p.m on Tuesday.
The election will not be certified until June 3.
