Devine, Gharpetian elected to City Council; Weaver out

With all precincts reporting, Paula Devine and Vartan Gharpetian have been elected to the Glendale City Council, while Dave Weaver failed in his bid for a sixth term.

Unofficial final results released by the City Clerk’s office at about 1 a.m. Wednesday indicated Devine, seeking her first four-year term, was the top vote getter with 8,246. Significantly behind, but still enough to win the second available seat, was Gharpetian with 6,507.

Weaver, who has been on the council since 1997, finished a distant fourth, receiving about half of Gharpetian’s total.

Devine won a shortened term in an special election last year to replace Councilman Frank Quintero.

Gharpetian now joins his wife, Dr. Armina Gharpetian, a member of the Glendale Unified board of education, as an elected official.

Check back later today for more news about the election.
