The City Council resumed its deliberation after failing to reach a consensus last week over who to appoint to the vacant District 3 seat
Alonso Gonzalez is Chula Vista’s new District 3 council member, giving Democrats majority control of San Diego County’s second-largest city.
Council members selected him from a pool of 10 finalists after officials publicly interviewed them last week. No one was appointed at the Jan. 24 meeting because the City Council failed to reach a consensus and insteadtheir discussion. If they did not make an appointment by Feb. 3, they would have had to hold a special election.
The Council’s thought process: fill the seat as soon as possible so that the constituency has representation on the dais. But District 3 residents have reiterated that they would have rather waited instead of having officials select for them. Many continued urging for the need to hold a special election.
Some residents even held a press conference Tuesday outside city hall, claiming that Democratic council members were proposing to appoint a close friend with direct ties to top county officials. They urged the City Council to refrain from appointing Almagro. She also spoke to claims that she has not lived in District 3 for nearly 15 years. Almagro said that due to housing hardships, she has sporadically lived in Chula Vista. A year ago, she lived with Councilmember Andrea Cardenas in District 4 as her roommate for seven months.
