STANTON : 19 Applicants to Be Interviewed for Seat

The City Council will interview 19 applicants for a seat vacated by former Councilman Joe V. Harris and could make an appointment tonight.

Harris resigned Sept. 23, saying he wanted to spend more time with his recently widowed father.

The new council member will serve until November, 1994, when Harris’ term was to expire.

The council decided last month to fill the vacancy by appointment rather than holding a special election.

The residents who filed applications for the council vacancy by Tuesday’s deadline were: Luis R. Arreola, a planning commissioner; Stephen S. Asaki, an attorney; Roberta A. Allen-Latiner, a retired worker compensation fraud investigator; Linda J. Pappas Diaz, a planning commissioner; Tom M. Frazier, a planning commissioner; Joan D. Thomas, the executive director of the Greater Stanton Chamber of Commerce; and Edna T. McConnell, a registered nurse.

Also filing applications were: Anthony S. Rose, a recent graduate of San Diego State University; Edward D. Royce, a retired production supervisor; Robert C. Rice, a retired car dealer; Guy Dean Sharples, a salesman; Robert C. Schurtz, self-employed; Lana S. Schlemmer, a project administrator; Alicita L. Lewis, a former councilwoman; Kimberli L. Cardwell, an engineer; Thomas J. Corrigan, a financial analyst; Frederick N. Clay, a planning commissioner; Rebecca Esparza, a homemaker; George Nielsen, a pest-control manager.
