Imperial Beach council appoints and swears in Mariko Nakawase to fill District 3 vacancy
Summary
The Imperial Beach City Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 25,053 to appoint Mariko Nakawase to the vacant District 3 seat and administered the oath of office. Nakawase pledged to serve and offered brief remarks before the council recessed.
The Imperial Beach City Council unanimously appointed Mariko Nakawase to fill the District 3 vacancy and administered the oath of office at its Oct. 15 meeting.
City Clerk Kelly reviewed the public appointment process and presented Resolution No. 25,053, which formalized the selection of Nakawase to serve the remainder of the term. Councilmember [name recorded as the mover] moved the resolution and Councilmember Jack Fisher seconded. The council held an oral vote and the motion carried unanimously by those present.
Following the vote, Nakawase took the ceremonial oath and told the council she was “very honored and excited” to serve. She kept her remarks brief at the request of the mayor and said she looked forward to joining council work.
The appointment followed a public recruitment and interview process described earlier by City Clerk Kelly; the vacancy resulted from an earlier succession chain after a county supervisor election created changes in the city’s leadership. No further formal actions were required to seat Nakawase at the meeting.
Procedural next steps include staff confirmation of the appointment in official records and assignment of committee duties in future agenda items.
