Goleta City Councilmember Ed Easton, who resigned on 5/21 after buying a house outside city limits, was recognized by the city for his five-and-a-half years on the dais. He thanked his colleagues individually and called his time at the city “a wonderful experience.” Easton also spoke about his wife’s desire for the new house, saying, “The idea was to make her happy, and I think we’re going to accomplish that.” Easton’s second term would’ve run through 2016; his seat will be filled via appointment by 7/20.
