Once discussion was closed, the time to nominate a candidate was opened. Councilman Nunes nominated Wayne Garibaldi and Councilman Rodriguez seconded the nomination, and the motion passed unanimously. There was no comment from Mr. Garibaldi at the meeting, as he is presently on vacation. He did say in his initial presentation to the council that he believed his economic background as a credit officer at Bank of Amador prepared him for addressing pressing economic issues facing the city. Look for him at the next City Council Meeting.

Last night, Jackson City Council chose Wayne
Garibaldi to fill the council seat left vacant when Drew Stidger resigned from
the council at the end of the year. Garibaldi was chosen from a field of 7 applicants for the job,
who sent letters of interest to the council and made presentations on their qualifications at a special meeting a week
ago. Mayor Pryor-Escamilla explained the criteria she looked at
when considering each applicant: including prior Government experience, their
skills and ability to work as a team player, the support garnered from the
public, their intention to run for election in the fall, and other such
factors.
