McFarland City Council reappoints to District 1; declares District 2 seat vacant, directs staff on next steps
Summary
The McFarland City Council voted unanimously to reappoint a candidate to the District 1 seat. Council members were told the District 2 seat is vacant immediately following a resignation and directed staff to pursue options, noting a 60‑day deadline to act.
The McFarland City Council voted unanimously to reappoint a person to the District 1 seat and, following that action, was told the District 2 seat is vacant immediately.
A staff member told the council it has 60 days from the date of the meeting to either appoint a replacement, provide for a process to fill the vacancy, or direct the city clerk to prepare a special election. Council members discussed options and directed staff to proceed with an application and interview process or, alternatively, keep the seat vacant until 2026.
In the formal roll call on the reappointment motion, Mayor Arione, Vice Mayor Cano, Councilmember Gonzales, Councilmember Perez and Councilmember Mary Young voted in the affirmative and the motion passed. The meeting transcript does not specify the name of the person reappointed to District 1, nor does it record a mover or seconder for the motion.
Council members also used the council‑statements portion of the meeting to thank Mr. Amador for his service; council members said he had resigned. The council then made a motion to adjourn and the meeting ended.
Next steps: Council directed staff member Ms. Adano to carry out the council’s direction on the District 2 vacancy and to return with required materials within the 60‑day timeframe referenced in the meeting.
