Because each precinct only had one candidate file, the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District has canceled its November election. On Sept. 15, the board declared the unopposed candidates elected to their offices, though they will not receive a certificate of election until after the Nov. 8 general election has taken place. The directors are Blayne Stansberry, Precinct 2; Lily Lucas, Precinct 3; and Vanessa Puig-Williams, Precinct 5. Both Stansberry and Lucas have previously served on the board in their positions. Puig-Williams will replace outgoing Director Craig Smith.
