The Harker Heights City Council will welcome Sam Halabi as its newest member Tuesday. Halabi, who defeated Stacey L. Wilson in a June 5 runoff election, will assume the Place 5 seat currently held by Jody Nicholas, who is stepping down from the council after two consecutive terms. At 3 p.m., council representatives will canvass the votes from the 5 runoff. After the announcement of the results of the canvassed votes, Halabi will take the oath of office. In the runoff, Halabi received 598 votes, or 54.7% of the votes cast to Wilsonâs 495, or 45.3%, according to unofficial figures from the city. Of the 1,094 ballots cast, 819 were registered during six days of early voting.
