HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—Supporters of Mayor Pro Tem Tito Ortiz gathered at the city’s civic center Feb. 1 as council prepared to discuss stripping him of his title.
Councilmembers were set to respond to a motion of no confidence—authored by Mayor Kim Carr and councilmembers Dan Kalmick and Michael Posey—which, if passed, would result in Ortiz’s removal from the mayor pro tem role.
