With Atherton’s three City Council incumbents facing no opposition in November, the council may decide to cancel the election.
Councilmen Alan Carlson, Charles Marsala and Jerry Carlson all filed to run for the three available four-year terms. At the Wednesday, August 16, meeting, the council agenda calls for a discussion of appointing the three incumbents or going ahead with the general municipal election on November 7.
The only chance for a contested council election is if a write-in candidate emerges. The filing period for write-in candidates runs from September 11 to October 24.
