In its first run at transitioning to the by-district election system, the Carpinteria City Council has voted to divide the city into five districts for the November 2022 elections, with the mayor continuing to be appointed every two years by the council.
“This is kind of the launching point,” said City Manager Dave Durflinger. "By answering these questions tonight, it really cuts us loose to start doing the public outreach process."
