On Nov. 6, Costa Mesa residents will vote on two local issues: 1) Which three residents will serve four-year terms on the Costa Mesa City Council? and 2) Should a proposed City Charter should be adopted (detailed information on the charter measure can be found here)?

The council seats up for election are currently held by Mayor Eric Bever (who cannot run again because of term limits), and Council Members Gary Monahan and Steve Mensinger.
