Temecula City Council Meeting Special Meeting - August 20, 2026

The City of Temecula held a special City Council meeting on August 20, 2026, primarily to consider the appointment of unopposed candidates for the November 3, 2026, general municipal election. The council reviewed the certification that Districts 1 and 3 each had only one candidate, both incumbents, making those races uncontested. Following the Elections Code Section 10229, the council voted to appoint the sole candidates, Matt Ron for District 1 and Brendan Kalpus for District 3, thereby canceling the election for those districts. The election for District 5, which had multiple candidates, was to proceed as scheduled. The council unanimously approved the resolution to appoint the unopposed candidates and cancel the election for those districts.
