– The Paso Robles City Council is seeking eligible applicants for appointment to fill the unexpired term for an at-large Paso Robles City Council seat until Dec. 2022. The candidate appointed to fill the vacant seat will serve as a city council member until the expiration of the term of the vacant seat in Dec. 2022 following the city’s general municipal election to be held on Nov. 8. Applications to be considered for appointment are available now and will be accepted through Friday, Aug. 19 at 5 p.m.

Applicants must meet the following requirements to be considered for appointment:

1) At least 18 years of age,

2) A resident within the city limits of the City of Paso Robles; and,

3) A registered voter of the City of Paso Robles. Because the vacant seat was originally elected prior to the City moving to a by-district election system, applicants can reside in any part of the City for purposes of seeking this temporary appointment.

Applications are available here, or at the city clerk’s office within city hall at 1000 Spring St. For further information, contact City Clerk Melissa Boyer at cityclerk@prcity.com or (805) 237-3960.

Qualifying applications received by the deadline will be presented to the city council for consideration. Qualified applicants must attend an interview with the city council at a special meeting tentatively planned for Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, in the city council chambers, located at 1000 Spring St, Paso Robles.

This at-large seat will become the District 2 seat following the next election. The District 2 seat is one of three elected positions included in the Consolidated General Election to be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8. The term of the seat is four years, expiring in Dec. 2026. Residents interested in running for this seat must make an appointment with the city clerk to receive and submit campaign documents during the nomination period which is currently open and ends on Aug. 12, 2022, at 5 p.m. There is no extension of the nomination period after Aug. 12.

All interested individuals who are registered voters residing in District 2 should contact City Clerk Melissa Boyer at cityclerk@prcity.com or (805) 237-3960 as soon as possible to set an appointment to pull nomination paperwork.
