Eastvale – There will be a Special Meeting of the Eastvale City Council held this Wed., Aug. 6, at 5 p.m., at Rosa Parks Elementary in the Multi-Purpose Room. At that time the 14 candidates seeking the vacant City Council seat recently left vacant by Jeff DeGrandpre will be interviewed.
All 14 candidates were required to submit an application package to City Hall by July 24. Those who met the deadline and qualifications are as follows:
- Charles Bennett
- Raul Gutierrez
- Anwer Khan
- Clint Lorimore
- David L. Magsam
- Cesar Morales
- Larry F. Oblea
- Tyrone Spears, Jr.
- Brandon L. Stuart
- Joseph M. Tessari
- William Van Leeuwen
- Robert F. Vandenheuvel
- Brandon M. Villalpando
- Byron G. Woods
At the meeting, candidates will be selected at random to deliver a two-minute opening statement, followed by a set of predetermined questions written by council members. Candidates waiting to be interviewed will be asked to remain in a separate room until their name is chosen, so as not to give an unfair advantage. Candidates are able to return to the audience after their interview has been completed.
Once all candidates have been interviewed, members of the City Council will vote on the appointment. If a candidate is successfully chosen on Wednesday, that candidate will be sworn in and seated as a member of the Eastvale City Council that very night.
The Eastvale Community News wishes all the candidates the very best of luck!
