Albert Robles was appointed mayor of Carson at a special city council meeting April 1. Robles and his fellow council members, Elito Santarina and Lula Davis-Holmes, voted 3-0 to make the appointment instead of calling a special election.
Robles will serve out the remainder of Jim Dear’s unexpired four-year term as mayor, which began in March 2013. The mayor’s position has been vacant since March 24, following his resignation to become the city’s new city clerk.
Because of Dear’ resignation and Mike Gipson’s move to the assembly this past fall, the city council is operating with three members. A special election will take place June 2 to fill Gipson’s seat. How the fifth council seat will be filled has not yet been determined.
Robles is scheduled to take his oath to office as the mayor at the regular council meeting on April 21. Robles must run in March 2017, if he chooses to continue to serve as mayor.
