Costs associated with the June and July Municipal Elections
On May 3, 2011, Vice Mayor Mulvehill announced that at 4:00 PM that day, Mayor René A. Varela had resigned from the Office of Mayor. In accordance with Article III, Section 5 of the City Charter, a special election to fill the unexpired term was held on June 28th and run-off election held on July 12, 2011.
