Condit leaves council, joins Board of Supervisors Channce Condit, Buck Condit and Vito Chiesa took the oath of office on Monday to become members of the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors. Judge Robert Westbook administered the oath.
Channce Condit officially left the Ceres City Council on Monday when he was sworn in as a new member of the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors.
Condit resigned from his Ceres City Council seat to take the District 2 supervisor’s role while his cousin once-removed Buck Condit now represents District 1, which covers the Oakdale, Riverbank areas.
Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Robert Westbrook conducted the swearing in ceremony while all three supervisors wore masks. Buck Condit congratulated the two others, joking that Hughson’s Vito Chiesa had a “real nail biter” race since he was unopposed to represent District 2.

Two-fifths of the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors will consist of Condits upon the swearing-in ceremony to take place next month.
Channce Condit will be resigning from his Ceres City Council seat to take the District 2 supervisor’s role while his cousin once-removed Buck Condit will represent District 1, which covers the Oakdale, Riverbank areas.
Channce Condit defeated attorney Tom Hallinan of Ceres in an 18,616 to 12,409 vote outcome, or 60 percent to 40 percent.
Council should revisit garbage can visibility
Now that we have a new Ceres City Council perhaps it will reverse the policy recently set that allows residents to keep their garbage cans in public view seven days a week.
As you may remember, the city had a law on the books that said you had to hide away your cans unless it was during the hours you could set them out for collection. In November 2019, three members of the old council changed that, saying they had no problems with cans being stored next to a house or garage. Those three – Chris Vierra, Bret Durossette and Mike Kline – are gone now. If Couper Condit is anything like his brother, he would vote to change back. Linda Ryno didn’t believe in letting cans be viewed from the street either. It remains to be seen how Bret Silveira and Mayor Javier Lopez would vote on the topic if it’s revisited.
