Fangary, who served seven years on the council is moving to Manhattan Beach.
Mayor Justin Massey said he wanted to appoint a new replacement member to serve out the remainder of Fangary’s term. He did not mention any name, but said he “wanted to appoint because it would be the cheapest way to do it.” He quickly agreed, however, to vote along with fellow council members, saying “I hear” their sentiment.
Cost of the mail-in election will be $30,000 to $50,000, officials said. By contrast, an in-person vote would cost about $100,000.
The election notion was endorsed by a parade of residents.
