DIXON, CA (MPG) - Dixonites in District 1, a large area encompassing North Lincoln all the way out to Pedrick, along the railroad and ending at H Street, will have a choice between Jim Ernest who is currently serving as District 2 Council Representative, and former City Councilman Michael Ceremello on Voting Day, November 8.

District 2 residents, which covers a large swathe through the center of town from H Street to the other side of East and West A Streets and all downtown, will choose between Scott Pederson, who is currently serving as District 1 Council Representative, and former Mayor Thom Bogue.

Districts have been detailed on the cityofdixon.us website. Follow the government tab to select ‘Election Information’ and scroll down to the listing of the individual districts. When each tab is open, it shows a colored map of which streets are included in that district.

No one challenged Kristin Janisch in the role of Elected City Clerk, and she was the only one to enter the race so will most likely be re-elected into the position again. All the above have submitted candidate’s statements according to the Solano County Registrar of Voters.

School Board candidates have until August 17 at 5 pm to file, according to the Solano County Registrar of Voters website. There are three open seats with currently five candidates vying for them: Incumbents Jewel Fink and Lloyd McCabe; Julian Cuevas; Ian Arnold; and former school board trustee John Gabby. Arnold and Gabby have not yet filed candidate statements.

Local voters will also be determining with a yes or no vote the outcome for this Dixon Quality of Life/Essential City Services Measure: “Shall the measure to maintain Dixon’s essential services such as fire prevention,; rapid 911 emergency response/neighborhood patrols; disaster preparedness; crime/gangs/drugs prevention; street/pothole repair; attract/retain local businesses/job; and for general government use; by establishing a 1-cent sales tax until ended by voters, providing approximately $3,100,000 annually, with independent citizen oversight and no money that can be taken by the State, be adopted?”
