Controversies
The election for the Norwood neighborhood's president was presumed by many to have proceeded without opposition. Incumbent Robert Gilmore, however, failed to submit a petition to waive the election. During the meeting when most expected the incumbents to be certified for another term Mary Jean LeMay garnered eight write-in votes to Gilmore's two votes and won the seat. Subsequently a petition calling for a new election was brought to the Mayor's office, but officials there said that the rules were followed and no action would be taken.
In North Pratt irregularities did result in a new election, which was held on January 13, 2015.
