Grover Beach City Councilwoman Kathy McCorry-Driscoll resigned her seat earlier this month because of a change in residency.
The City Council voted unanimously on Monday to fill the vacancy through an appointment instead of a special election. City staff estimated the special election would cost $330,000.
Originally elected in Nov. 2024, McCorry-Driscoll’s term of office was set to expire in Dec. 2028.
On Oct. 13, the Grover Beach City Council is slated to appoint a resident to fill the District 3 seat.


She did the right thing by disclosing her move.
Thank you.
Another appointment to silence the voters and pick a council member who will tow the line with officials instead of letting the residents voices be heard.
