CLEARLAKE – The three Clearlake City Council members whose terms expire this year say their names will be on the ballot this fall.

The seats currently held by Mayor Curt Giambruno and Council members Joyce Overton and Judy Thein are scheduled for election this November.

On Thursday, the council voted to call the city election, which will be consolidated with the statewide election on Nov. 4.

The resolution passed by the City Council, and due to go to the Board of Supervisors, asks the county to provide election services to the city, as has been done in the past.

The filing period is just under a month away – beginning July 14 and running through Aug. 8, according to City Administrator Dale Neiman.

Overton this weekend that she's planning to seek a second term.

“We've got to stay a team,” she said.

Overton said she feels the city is “on the move,” and that the current council works well together.

“We all want the best for the city,” she said.

After Thursday's meeting, Thein said she decided to seek reelection. Like Overton, Thein is completing her first term on the council.

Giambruno – appointed to the council from the Planning Commission two and a half years ago to fill the unexpired term of Steve Markham, who left the area – said he wants to continue on the council and also will run.

He said his late wife, Judy, who died in March, had made him promise her that he would seek another term on the council, because she thought he had important work to do for the city.

For those who wish to throw their hats into the City Council ring, candidate packets will be available during normal city business hours from City Clerk Melissa Swanson at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. Completed packets also must be filed with Swanson, Neiman reported.
