An effort to recall three members of the Monte Sereno City Council is underway.[1]
The recall effort is directed at Mayor Curtis Wright and council members Don Perry and Lana Malloy.
Those leading the recall object to the fact that Wright, Perry and Malloy voted to give themselves a $300 monthly stipend for their work on the city council. Some of those targeted for recall have made other unpopular decisions in recent years, such as the events surrounding the Padgett lawsuit, which has led to a fine being levied against the city for more than $4 million, which exceeds the city's annual budget. In that lawsuit, a court ruled that Mayor Wright had violated the civil rights of the Padgetts.[2]
Monte Sereno, located in Santa Clara County, has a population of around 3,500.
