Council hopelessly deadlocked in council seat appointment Special election likely with Ryno & Silveira dead-set for Laurie Smith; Condit & Lopez for anybody but The Ceres City Council was at a stalemate Tuesday evening over an appointment to fill Channce Condit s unexpired term. Deadlocked 2-2, the councilmembers did not budge, making it likely that a special election will be called in March. Left to right are Ceres City Manager Tom Westbrook, Councilwoman Linda Ryno, Mayor Javier Lopez, Councilman Bret Silveira and Vice Mayor Couper Condit.
