It took a flip of quarter Monday morning to determine the final winner in the Salina City Commission race.

When a canvass of votes was concluded by Saline County Commissioners, City Commissioner Randall Hardy, and Candidate Joe Hay Jr, each had 2141 votes. Commissioner Hardy called tails on the coin flip. County Commission chair Monte Shadwick flipped a quarter, that hit the table and slid onto a chair and it was heads.

Hay did not attend, but was represented by his wife and son. He will serve a 2-year term.
