Vacancies occur in two ways.
First, following each election, certain terms expire. The Clerk's Office posts an Annual Vacancy Report on December 31 that lists scheduled vacancies in the upcoming year. Unscheduled vacancies are posted on the Council Chamber bulletin board when the Clerk's Office receives a notice of vacancy. For a current vacancy list, please contact the Clerk of the Council Office. Background Citizen participation in local government is a time-honored tradition in Santa Ana.
