(Calexico City Council Vacancies)...Two Vacancies will officially be declared Wednesday.
That is when the two recently recalled City Council members will leave the council. The remaining City Council members will then be tasked in deciding how they want to fill the vacancies. The choices are appointment, special election, operate with three members until the November election. There are at least five people interested in serving on the City Council. The five interested residents participated in a forum last week in Calexico. They are German J. Jimenez Jr, a military veteran and retiree from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Victor Legaspi retired from the Calexico Police Department after serving 34 years. Patricia Lizarraga with 23 years with the County as an Accountant-Auditor, and 40 years in the accounting field. Adriana Marquez with 15 years of management experience, five years in banking and 12 years in education. And, Lisa Tylenda with over a decade of municipal experience. The current City Council could appoint any of those interested or someone completely different. The five, however, have indicated they will be candidates in the November election.
