The Region : Voting for Town Council
About 700 residents have signed up to vote Friday in the first election of a town council for the unincorporated county area near Monrovia, Duarte and Arcadia.
Nine residents will compete for seven seats on the newly created town council, which will represent the area’s 11,000 residents before the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
Organizers say the council will help inform residents about county programs and community problems.
The candidates are: Richard Brown, 35, a store owner; Yvonne Bullock, 51, a school outreach worker; Rosa Carillo, 28, assistant manager of a clothing manufacturer; Reyna Diaz, 36, a wedding coordinator; Paul Diffley, 56, a teacher; Albert David Hall, 44, an architect; Joan Schmidt 44, a vice principal; Stanley Trinaystich, 56, a retired accountant, and Carolyn Ziegler, 52, a speech writer for Arco.
Terms in office will vary and be determined by a drawing of straws. Four seats will have a four-year term and three seats a two-year term.
Voters, who must be 18 or older and residents of the area for at least six months, will mark their ballots Friday between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. at Maxwell Elementary School, 733 Euclid Ave., near Duarte, and at the Mayflower Market, 2543 South Peck Road, Monrovia.
