New Mayor Appointment at Special Meeting
Following city procedure, the council will appoint a new mayor and vice mayor this evening.
South San Francisco City Council will hold a special meeting on Tuesday for its annual reorganization of the council.
Current vice mayor, Pedro Gonzalez, is slated to step into the mayor's seat and Councilmember Karyl Matsumoto is expected to take the seat of vice mayor, also called "Mayor Pro Tem."
Though city councilmembers can technically vote for any current serving member, it is most likely that the reorganization will follow the precalculated rotation order.
