Zarian Named Glendale Mayor

The City Council on Monday night unanimously elected Councilman Larry Zarian mayor for the next year.

This will be the fourth term as mayor for Zarian, who has been a council member for 14 years.

Under the city charter, the five-member council chooses one of its members as mayor each year.

In a chamber overflowing with spectators, outgoing Mayor Sheldon S. Baker, former Councilwoman and Mayor Virginia “Ginger” Bremberg and newcomer Dave Weaver were also sworn in as council members for four-year terms.

Bremberg, who received the most votes in the April 1 election, implored residents of the 200,000-population city to pay attention to the budget hearings that will address an anticipated deficit of more than $4 million.
