A key decision will soon be made that could shape San Jose’s government for the next two years.
The vacant position garnered 40 applications and the council narrowed it down to 11 candidates.
"The short list are good lists, but I still think we should have had a special election because what's really difficult is for councilmembers to determine who is the best qualified to represent those two districts," Foley said."What I've learned over the years is sometimes you actually get people who step up to serve when you do an appointment that may not have otherwise stepped up to serve," San Jose City Councilmember David Cohen said.
The short list for the District 10 seat, which includes Almaden Valley, features candidates who all served on a city or school committee. It includes a retired county judge, community impact leader and gym owner. Appointments will be made on Jan. 26 and will need a super majority -- six of nine councilmembers -- to vote them in. Those appointed to the city council will serve for two years until the 2024 general election.
