The March 3rd City Council elections yielded two returning Council members and one new face. Incumbents Bridget Lewis, District 2, and Sharon Kalani, District 4, will continue to represent their areas. Newly-elected District 6 Councilperson Dr. Jeremy Gerson left his Board of Education trustee position to begin serving on City Council. Among the issues that the Council will be facing in the next few months are various proposals for amendments to the City's charter. Those include whether the Council and the Mayor should receive a pay raise (their present stipend is $100. per month plus benefits); whether to expand the present 30 day residency requirement for candidates for public office; changes to the City Treasurer and City Clerk job descriptions; and if there should be a run off election when one candidate does not garner 50% of the total votes. Public input for these and other possible Charter changes is solicited for the April 23rd and June 4th Council meetings. Pictured below, left to right: Bridget Lewis, Sharon Kalani and Jeremy Gerson.
