The Orinda City Council at its June 2 meeting appointed Dean Orr as mayor to fill the vacancy created when Steve Glazer resigned from his council seat May 28 in order to be sworn in to his first term with the California Senate. Orr was elected to a four-year term in November 2010, and was re-elected in 2014 to serve a second term on the city council. He will serve as mayor through December 2015.

The council also decided to seek applications to fill the midterm vacancy created by Glazer's departure, instead of holding a special election. The appointee needs to be a resident of the city of Orinda who is at least 18 years old, and the application requires the filing of a Statement of Economic Interest Form (form 700) for calendar year 2014. Applications and supplemental materials will be made public after the application deadline. For more information, see "Applications for City Council Vacancy Available" on page A6. J. Wake
