At their regular meeting on March 21, and a special meeting on March 24, the City Council voted to appoint three new members to the City Council and cancel the June 2022 election, saving the City an estimated $45,000 in election expenses.
The City Council had three available slots coming open in June: one 2-year term and two 4-year terms. Three individuals, Jim Wickham, Stephen Burke and Max Perrey, were nominated for office and completed the necessary paperwork by the deadlines. In this instance, the California Elections Code allows the sitting City Council to appoint the nominees and cancel the election.
- Jim Wickham was elected in 2015 and served a 4-year term. He was elected again in 2019 to fill a vacated Council seat.
- Stephen Burke was appointed on September 1, 2021, to fill a Council vacancy until the City’s next election. He has been appointed to a 4-year term.
- Max Perrey has been appointed to a 4-year term.
The City Council transition with new Councilmembers taking their oath of office will occur on June 21, at Mill Valley City Hall.
