SALINAS, Calif. - The first paperwork has been filed to ask for a recall of Salinas Mayor Joe Gunter.
Citizens submitted a form with 21 signatures to the city clerk and city attorney on Wedneday. They will now review the paperwork and have a response within a week.
This all comes after city council members voted Tuesday to take legal action against Council member Jose Castañeda, who also sits on the Alisal Union School Board.
As Central Coast News reported on Tuesday night, the city paid Remcho, Johansen & Purcell, an independent law firm, about $7,500 to assess the issue of incompatible offices according to Governement Code 1099. The code is an opinion by the attorney general's office stating someone can't hold both seats at the same time, for geographical reasons and the potential for a conflict of interest in the future.
In a 4 to 2 vote, with Castañeda abstaining, the council will move forward with its right to file a lawsuit with the attorney general's office to try and remove Castañeda from his school board seat.
