Three candidates will compete for two seats on the Moraga Town Council in November, while two lawmakers announced their departure from the council.
Teresa Onoda said that she would not run again for her council seat in the general election and Council Member Jeanette Fritzky resigned in July, citing her battle with lung cancer. Her seat is not one of the two placed on the general election ballot, so a decision on how to fill the remainder of her two-year term will be made at the Aug. 22 council meeting.
Vying for the two council seats in November include incumbent Dave Trotter, retired financial executive Mike McCluer and retired engineer Steve Woehleke.
"Since 2006 I've worked tirelessly as a councilmember to protect Moraga's open space and scenic beauty, welcome new retail businesses, and act with fiscal responsibility in the face of funding and infrastructure challenges. I want to continue this important work for all Moragans," Trotter said.
Woehleke "is a 30 year Moraga resident with 20 years of service to the town on the Planning Commission, the Design Review Board and the Hacienda Foundation board of directors. (I am) running for town council to help the council successfully handle Moraga's challenges using quality decision making, an expertise attained through 33 years of industry experience."
Longtime Moraga resident McCluer said he is running to maintain the town's semirural presence. Among his goals are improved financial management, attracting new retail and enhancing government transparency.
The three competitors for the council seats will have the opportunity to share their positions in the Sept. 19 Lamorinda Weekly.
