The race for Redmond council seats was too close to call Tuesday night, though two Redmond city councilors appeared headed for re-election.

Votes counted by 11 p.m. showed councilors Joe Centanni and Camden King out in front of a field of five candidates vying for the three positions. They were followed by Ginny McPherson, Anne Graham and Ed Petersen. In Redmond, the three top vote-getters earn the seats on the council.

Centanni was previously elected to the council in 2006 but declined to run for a second term in 2010. The owner of a Redmond accounting business, he returned to the council earlier this year when he was appointed to fill a vacancy created when councilor Ed Boero moved to Bend.

King, a Redmond native and the owner of an executive recruitment firm, was running close behind Centanni in his bid for a second term.

McPherson, a minister who has served on the city budget committee and the Downtown Urban Renewal District Citizens Advisory Committee, was leading Graham, a retired Intel manager and a member of the Redmond Urban Area Planning Commission, by a narrow margin.

Petersen, owner of a Redmond advertising and photography business, was running considerably further behind Graham.

Mayor George Endicott was unopposed in his race for re-election and will return for a second term as mayor.

The council consists of six members serving four-year terms and a mayor serving a two-year term. Three councilors are elected every two years. Redmond’s nine city departments report to a city manager, and a city manager is appointed by the council.
