Lafayette's current longest-serving city council member has announced that he will not be running for re-election this November.
Mayor Mike Anderson made his intention clear at the July 13 city council meeting, describing his 16 years on the council as a `half-Tatzin' - a reference to former Mayor Don Tatzin's 33 years on the council.
"It's been a great run," said Anderson.
Anderson has served the city for over 20 years. He was appointed to the planning commission in November 2000, and elected to the city council in November 2004.
All council members expressed their gratitude and sadness on hearing the news, described by City Council Member Steven Bliss as an "immeasurable loss to our city council."
The city council has three four-year seats up for grabs in November. The filing period runs from July 13 to Aug. 7, with that date extended to Aug. 12 for seats for which the incumbent has not filed.
To be eligible, those interested in filing must be a citizen of the United States, at least 18 years of age, and be a registered voter and a qualified elector of the city of Lafayette. The candidate is responsible for delivering all signed original documents to City Clerk Joanne Robbins. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, nomination papers will be issued by appointment only. Face masks and social distancing will be required.
To schedule an appointment with the city clerk call (925) 284-1968 or email jrobbins@ci.lafayette.ca.us
