Claremont : City Council Elects Mayor
Councilman Nick Presecan was elected by his council colleagues as mayor of Claremont Tuesday night, succeeding Alex Hughes, who died last week.
Presecan, 49, is senior vice president at Engineering-Science Inc. in Pasadena. Diann Ring was named mayor pro tem.
The council will meet at 7 tonight at City Hall to consider whether to leave the council seat vacated by Hughes’ death open until the April municipal election or appoint a successor.
The council also will discuss tonight a controversial proposal to levy a landscape and lighting assessment fee to raise $1.2 million a year, starting next July. The fee would cost homeowners about $90 a year.
