Mari Rodin to be sworn in as Ukiah City Council member

February 3, 2021 — Mari Rodin will be sworn into the Ukiah City Council at tonight’s meeting, where she’ll start serving out the remaining two years of Maureen Mulheren’s term. Mulheren was elected to the second district supervisor seat, which Rodin also wanted, and started that position early last month. At an hour and a half special meeting last week, the city council heard from Rodin and seven other applicants, including Joel Soinila, who ran against her for supervisor, Cameron Ramos and Steve Scalmanini, who ran for city council last year, an urban planner, and a neighborhood activist. The vote to appoint Rodin was unanimous.
