City Appoints Planning Panelist to Fill Out Term
WALNUT — The City Council has unanimously voted to appoint Planning Commissioner Daniel Marostica to serve the remaining portion of the council term of Robert Pacheco, who won a state Assembly seat last month.
Marostica, 55, will be sworn in Dec. 16. Council members decided against calling a special election to fill the vacancy created by Pacheco’s victory in the 60th Assembly District.
A special election would have cost the city as much as $50,000, city officials said.
Marostica will serve until April 2000. The city had extended the terms of Pacheco and two other council members from 1999 to 2000 after deciding to consolidate the city election with the county election.
