New City Council Member Could be Appointed Wednesday

A new official could join the Elk Grove City Council as soon as Wednesday.

Six qualified applicants are in the running for the position:

• Edward J. Busuttil, a San Joaquin County Asisstant District Attorney

• David Conner, the CEO of RECON Networking, Inc.
• LaWanna Montgomery, a recent mayoral candidate
• Oscar O'con, a business consultant who is involved in several Elk Grove organizations
• Jeffrey Sherwood Owen, a youth soccer coach and Vice President of Operations at School Innovations & Advocacy

If the council is to appoint someone, it must do so within 60 days of the vacancy being created: The last regularly scheduled meeting for that is Jan. 23.
