Fountain Valley Ca Elections

James D. Petrikin will seek reelection to the City Council for a third four-year term in November. Mayor George B. Scott said he has decided to bow out of public service after 21 years on the council. Since the filing period opened Monday, seven residents, including Petrikin, have taken out nomination papers, city officials said. The deadline to return them is Aug. 9. A 20-year resident of Fountain Valley, Petrikin was elected to the council in November 1988. The city does not have term limits.

Voters will choose City Councilman James D. Petrikin's replacement at the Nov. 3 general election. Saying he suffered health problems, Petrikin resigned in May amid accusations he was living in Northern California, violating an election law that requires council members to live in the cities they represent. The City Council on Tuesday opted to fill Petrikin's seat by election rather than appoint a replacement. Candidates have from July 13 to Aug.

Voters reelected two incumbents to the City Council, despite claims by a challenger and some residents that Councilman George B. Scott has served too long. Scott, 60, was elected to the council for the sixth time and will be serving his third consecutive term. Mayor James D. Petrikin, 52, who was first elected in 1988, won another four years on the council. Voters in 1984 passed a measure to limit terms to two consecutive terms.
