With unofficial final tallies released by the county Board of Election Commissioners, Ward 4 Alderman Pat Fribis is the apparent victor in the Sunset Hills mayoral race.

The unofficial final results for municipal and school board races are:

Two candidates challenged incumbent Bill Boston for the Crestwood Ward 3 aldermanic seat.

Former Alderman Jerry Miguel is the apparent winner over newcomer Spencer Talbott and Boston, who was elected in 2013.

• Boston — 209

• Miguel — 417

• Talbott — 161

Four candidates — Ismaine Ayouaz, Tony Kennedy, former Alderman Steve Nieder and Ryan Pascoe — were seeking the Crestwood Ward 4 aldermanic seat currently held by Cindy Minor.

Minor, who did not file for election, was appointed to the seat last year to replace former Ward 4 Alderman Mike Tsichlis, who won a seat on the Lindbergh Board of Education.

Kennedy is the apparent victor.

Four candidates were seeking to succeed Sunset Hills Mayor Mark Furrer, who did not file for re-election, with Fribis the apparent winner over Larry Chorosevic, Nathan Lipe and Gregory Nelson.

Former Mayor Bill Nolan filed first, but later dropped out of the race due to health reasons.

• Lipe — 304

• Chorosevic — 287

• Nelson —115

Five candidates — Michael Bitzenburg, Jennifer Miller, David Reinhardt, Mike Tsichlis and incumbent Gary Ujka — were vying for two seats on the Lindbergh Board of Education. Miller and Tsichlis are the apparent victors.
