Newcomers led the four-way race early Tuesday night for the board of supervisors of the Cheval West Community Development District. The race's only incumbent, Earl Burley, trailed behind Ray Miller, David Rankin and Lori Lencioni, with absentee ballots counted. Voters were asked to choose three supervisors for the five-member board, which oversees the upkeep of the community's common areas. The race was an important one for the district since residents will now control the majority of the seats, instead of the builder and developer.
Residents currently control two seats.
The development district is generally located west and south of the Tournament Players Club. St. Petersburg Times.
