With his win Tuesday, Joe Boles is the only new face on the St. Augustine City Commission.

Boles defeated Hank Whetstone to win commission Seat 3. The other City Commissioners up for re-election won commission seats Tuesday. Boles said as the newcomer he will observe and learn from the other commissioners.

"I'm going to sit and listen and learn and see if I can be of help to the city," he said. "I'm just pleased as punch about it."

Boles said he hopes to bring balance to the City Commission. He said the management of a small city is not like running a corporation, and the goal isn't to profit at any cost, but to create a great place to live.

This position is a two-year term with a salary of $12,000.
