Carroll, a Genola resident for the past eight years, said his main goal if elected would be to help keep the peace between longtime residents, who own the most property, and newcomers, who make up the majority of Genola's nearly 1,200 residents.

"The people who have lived here all their life, they're generous enough to move over and let us move in, and then we start telling them what we can and can't do," he said. "That concerns me a little bit. I'd like to help maintain a balance there so everyone gets a fair shake."

Hazelet said his main goal is to make sure Genola stays fiscally sound while preparing for the future.

"Right now, Genola is in the black, and I just want to make sure we stay that way," he said. "At the same time, we need to make sure that we provide the necessary infrastructure, such as roads and water, and we are looking down the road at a new fire station."

Incumbent Bryan Draper will be on the ballot for the two at-large seats on the Genola Town Council, along with Chris D. Greenwood, Douglas Hunt and Michael A. Vail. Draper was the top vote-getter in the primary, finishing one vote ahead of Vail, 100-99.

Cedar Hills

In Cedar Hills, there are no incumbents on the ballot for council and, on the surface, few differences between the four candidates: Charelle Bowman, Christopher "Tiffer" Jenkins, Chris Kruger and Eric Richardson.

The four are vying for two, four-year seats.

"If you do a scorecard between the four candidates and the five primary issues, we all agree," said Jenkins, who finished with the fewest votes — 214 — of those who advanced in the primary election. "We agree that the golf course should be reconfigured to reduce the debt. We agree that the tax cap should be eliminated to allow the city to function like a city's supposed to. We believe in youth sports. We believe in parks and trails. And we believe in a balanced budget."

In an e-mail to the Deseret Morning News, Bowman emphasized the importance of making sure there are opportunities and activities for the youth of Cedar Hills.

"It just doesn't make sense in a city full of kids that we offer nothing for them," she wrote.

Bowman finished second in the primary with 390 votes, 109 votes behind top vote-getter Richardson, who earned 489, and 85 ahead of Kruger, who received 305.

Incumbent Michael C. McGee will be alone on the mayoral ballot after both challengers dropped out of the race. McGee has served as mayor since June 2004. He was appointed to the position after Brad Sears resigned for personal reasons.

Cedar Fort

Only one of the four candidates running for office in Cedar Fort will be disappointed on election day.

There are three candidates running for the two available seats on the Town Council: incumbent Dennis Malmstrom, Brad Norris and Chris Murphy.

Growth is the No. 1 issue in Cedar Fort, Malmstrom said.

"I know everybody says that, but that's because it's happening to everybody," he said.

Incumbent mayor Janine Cook is running unopposed.
