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 December 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 December 2022 following the City’s General Municipal Election to be held on November 8, 2022. Applications to be considered for appointment are available now and will be accepted through Friday, August 19 at 5 PM.

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 at Boards & Commissions | Paso Robles, CA (prcity.com) or at the City Clerk’s Office within City Hall at 1000 Spring St. For further information please contact City Clerk Melissa Boyer at [email protected] or (805) 237-3960.

Qualified applicants must attend an interview with the City Council at a Special Meeting tentatively planned for Wednesday, August 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 on Consolidated General Election to be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. The term of the seat is four years, expiring in December 2026.
