Eastvale – After interviewing 14 well-qualified candidates at the special City Council meeting on Wed., Aug. 6, the decision was made to elect Joseph M. Tessari to fill the vacant seat recently left open by Jeff DeGrandpre.
Councilmember William Link felt that it was in the best interest of the City of Eastvale to select an individual that had an idea of how the council worked, and who needed less of a learning curve, especially with important council agenda items forthcoming.
Tessari, a Sheriff’s detective, who has long been involved with the community of Eastvale, fit the City’s criteria, and after the motion was made, council unanimously voted him in, with Mayor Pro Tem, Adam Rush, abstaining.
