Councilman John C. Holmberg has resigned because he’s moved out of the city. Holmberg’s resignation on Friday came a few weeks before the end of his latest four-year term; he has served on the council for 16 years.
Holmberg was first elected to the council in 1980. He was reelected in 1984 and 1988, and after a hiatus of a few years, he was elected again in 1996. He served as mayor in 1985, 1987 and 1991.
During his tenure, Holmberg represented the city as a board member of the League of California Cities, the Southern California Assn. of Governments, the Orange County Sanitation District, the Orange County Vector Control District and various legislative committees.
