After two weeks of absence from in-person meetings, the 12 members of the city council (Gil Cedillo was absent and Nury Martinez has resigned) decided to appoint Curren Price as their President pro tempore.
The council also set a special election in April to Nury Martinez, who resigned as Council president and then from City Council entirely earlier this month under intense pressure.
As President pro tem, Price will act as deputy to the new Council president Paul Krekorian. Mitch O’Farrell — who is facing a tough fight for his seat in the Nov. 8 election — had served in the pro tem role since last September.
As far as next steps for replacing Martinez: If necessary, the April election would be followed by a runoff in June. Each election is expected to cost the city close to $4 million.
