Gilroy City Council Changes
W
ith Mayor Don Gage’s retire-
ment at the end of the 2015
came a lot of changes to the Gilroy
City Council. In January, the
Council appointed Perry Woodward
as the new Mayor to serve the
remaining term which expires
November 2016. A few weeks
later the City Council conducted
interviews to fill the council vacancy
created when Woodward was
appointed Mayor. The Council
Mayor Perry Woodward
interviewed eight individuals each
of whom expressed their desire to
contribute to the future success of
Gilroy. After the interview process,
the Council appointed Daniel
Harney to fill the vacancy as the
newest Gilroy City Council member.
The Council then voted to appoint
Peter Leroe-Munoz as the Mayor
Pro Tempore. Congratulations to all
those involved in the changes. We
are looking forward to a productive
and exciting 2016!
