Huntington Beach Votes in New Mayor Pro Tem
Huntington Beach city council unanimously voted June 2 to appoint Councilmember Barbara Delgleize as mayor pro tem following the resignation of Tito Ortiz.
The vote occurred during a special meeting created in order to discuss filling the role vacated by Ortiz the day prior.
After a number of public comments, Councilmember Erik Peterson nominated Delgleize to the position, citing her past experience on council and as mayor, calling her a “good buffer” between current Mayor Kim Carr and two recently-elected councilmembers.
After the vote confirmed her appointment, Delgleize took the oath of office and was congratulated by the council.
