Max Mulkey
Mulkey drew 73 votes (57.48 percent) to Lapaquette's 54 votes (42.52 percent).
None of the three candidates in the Post One race received the 50 percent plus one vote needed to claim the seat in the Nov. 3 general election.
Mulkey received the most votes, with 54 or 46.55 percent. Lapaquette received 40 votes, or 34.48 percent. Jerry Jeffery Crook received 22 votes, or 18.97 percent.
Jim Dodd was unopposed for City Council Post Three.
Tuesday's run-off drew more voters -- 128 or 33.16 percent of Fairmount's 386 registered voters -- than the Nov. 3 general election, when 118 ballots were cast.
Shea Hicks, Chairperson of the county board of elections, said earlier that she expected only a 25 percent turnout.
