The San Clemente City Council voted 4–0 to approve plans to choose a replacement for Councilman Gene James—who resigned on April 28 to move to Wyoming—during their May 16 meeting.
The council approved a special meeting, which will be open to the public, on May 23 at 4 p.m. to vet 23 applicants who have applied for the position and then will narrow the pool to five.
