In the preliminary vote, the council was divided 5-5 between Alderman Buttke and Alderman Poeschel. After the second round of voting, the council was still split in half in terms of whom it wanted to make its next president. It was determined that a coin flip would decide the winner and Alderman Poeschel was elected Board President.
