Jeffreys said she is looking forward
to working with individual department
heads in the county in order to under-
stand the budget.
"I appreciate the voters' confidence in
me," Jeffreys said. "I'm eager to get to
work and will be working hard to get up
to speed on the issues coming up in De-
cember."
Jeffreys will take office on Nov. 27 since
she is filling the expired term of Jerry Lin-
gle, who was elected in 2010, and died in
office in August 2012.
Gallagher said he is hopeful that his
loss will be reversed when additional bal-
lots are counted on Friday.
"We'll see what the next counts do," he
said. "We're not that far behind."

two groups could not come to an agree-
ment, and the senior center Board of Direc-
tors did not sign off on a p~oposed 15-year
lease.
"I think the spirit was there, but when
you sign something you have to be prudent
about it," Shaw said. "We did withdraw
from that."
With net increases in membership of
about 10 percent per year, the senior cen-
ter still needs to expand, Shaw said.
"We are continuing to pursue funding a
larger center," she said. "The need is there
and our membership is growing.
The senior center's Board of Directors
discussed how to proceed during a meeting
on Tuesday.
The board voted Tuesday to not pursue
buying the PUD buildings in the future.
"It would be irresponsible for us to keep
asking for extensions," she said. "We have
no rights on that complex right now."
In its continued search for a larger and
more accommodating location, Shaw said
the senior center needs to work with local
people and organizations.
"We would like to have more definite
partners that would be renting space from
us," she said. "We'd really like people to
come forward and be supportive.
Shaw said she is confident in the cen-
ter's ability to finance another location.
"We need to be realistic about what can
happen," she said. "We've purchased and
paid off two centers.
