At-large

As no candidate passed the maximum possible threshold to be elected in the first round, several rounds of vote tabulations were necessary until three members were elected. John Erwin was elected in the fourth round and Annie Young and Meg Forney in the ninth round.

Steve Barland, Meg Forney, Jason Stone, and Tom Nordyke were candidates in the 2009 Park and Recreation Board election, but were all defeated. Barland and Stone ran in District 5 and Forney in District 6. Tom Nordyke served on the Board as an at-large member from 2006 to 2009 and as its president from 2008 to 2009.
