- Appointment in lieu of November 3, 2026 election for two expiring seats
- Estimated $300 fee to County Registrar if appointment made, vs $50,000 budgeted for election
- Deadline for appointment is August 20, 2026 (75th day before election)

City Council Special Meeting
Council to appoint two new members in lieu of election
The Brawley City Council will consider a resolution to appoint Eric Montoya Reyes and Clyde Richard Edgar Jr. to fill two council seats, avoiding a November election for the uncontested race. The appointment is allowed under California Elections Code § 10229 because only two candidates filed for the two open seats. If approved, the city would save most of its $50,000 election budget, paying only a $300 county fee.
- Resolution No. 2026-45 to appoint Eric Montoya Reyes and Clyde Richard Edgar Jr. to City Council
- Appointment in lieu of election for November 3, 2026, General Election
- Estimated $300 fee to County Registrar of Voters if appointment approved, saving about $49,700 from $50,000 election budget
- Deadline for appointment is August 20, 2026 (75th day before election)
