Huntington Beach residents of all walks of life showed up to the City Council chambers throughout the day Friday.
Some used their full five-minute time allotment, while a few did not have a statement prepared. But all were candidates to interview for the open City Council spot that was vacated when Mayor Pro Tem Tito Ortiz resigned on June 1.

The city of Huntington Beach will be ending its COVID-19 local emergency, after the Huntington Beach City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to direct city staff to prepare the necessary paperwork.
Huntington Beach will join neighboring Newport Beach, which voted to lift its local emergency on June 22.
In Surf City, the local emergency has been in place since March 16, 2020 at the outset of the coronavirus pandemic. The California economy was largely fully reopened on June 15 by Gov. Gavin Newsom and Huntington Beach is coming off a Fourth of July weekend that saw thousands flock to Pier Plaza for a festival and fireworks show on Sunday night.

Huntington Beach resident Kevin Elliott said the typical planning cycle for an airshow is two to three years.
When the Great Pacific Airshow was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was a step back. But Elliott, who puts on the show with his production team at Code Four, promises the most packed lineup in the show’s history for 2021.
Tickets go on sale Thursday for the beach event, which has been renamed the Pacific Airshow. The three-day experience is scheduled in Huntington Beach from Oct. 1 to 3.
