Zilka, a 25-year council veteran and current council president, says current mayor not doing enough for economic development. City now has a 3-way race.
Avon Lake Council President Greg Zilka has announced his candidacy for the 2012-16 mayoral term, creating a three-way race for the seat. Former mayor Rob Berner and current mayor K.C. Zuber have also announced they will be on the November General Election ballot. In 2007, Zilka, who had recently retired as a Avon Lake High School teacher, briefly entered the mayoral race as a challenger to Berner, who was the mayor. Zilka opted not to pursue the seat so he and his wife Patricia could travel. Soon after, Zuber entered the race, beating Berner in the 2007 General Election. Zilka is no stranger to city government. He has been on Avon Lake City Council since 1985 and twice held the position of council president, from 1992-1995 and 2000 to the …
