REAL-TIME ELECTION RESULTS: Novato's November 2017 Race, Measures

UPDATE: Novato Election 2017 Results: Incumbents Re-Elected

NOVATO, CA – Election Day 2017 is here. Novato voters headed to the polls Tuesday to decide on a council contest and two local measures.

Incumbent Novato City Council members Denise Athas and Pat Eklund were challenged by communications strategist Kevin Morrison for the two open seats.

Measure D continues the city's 20-year urban growth boundary in the General Plan until Dec. 31, 2042. The plan was approved in November 1997. The measure needed a simple majority approval to pass. Proponents claim the urban growth boundary helps preserve Novato's small town character and fosters better planning and development.

Residents living within Marin County Flood Control District Zone No. 1, which covers most of Novato, also voted on a special tax. Measure E is a special parcel tax ranging between $30 and $1,254 per parcel per year depending on the parcel for 18 years. It required two-thirds approval.
