COLTON>> The results of local elections are in and Incumbent Colton City Council Member Isaac Suchil and Incumbent Frank Navarro won re-election. The city will also welcome Jack Woods to the council to represent District 5. For District 3, Navarro won 62.16 percent of the vote against former Colton Mayor Kelly Chastain who won 37.84 percent. "I'm humbled by the demonstration of confidence and trust the residents have in me to have elected me for another term," Navarro said. "I will continue to make quality of life changes to the city and the district." After weeks of campaigning, Suchil won 59.97 percent of the vote for District 6 against former Colton Mayor Sarah Zamora who received 40.03 percent of the vote. “I am relieved and blessed to have the overwhelming support of my district,” Suchil said. Suchil said he will continue to work on South La Cadena safe zone by installing additional signal lights to make it as safe as possible, as well as continuing to work on addressing the homeless traffic within the Cooley Ranch Business District plus continue to find ways to bring new businesses to that area. “I want to thank all my residents that supported me and I will continue to serve you,” Suchil said. Woods, Board Member of the Colton Code Compliance and Housing Appeals Board, won 48.24 percent of the vote for District 5 against Kirk Larson, Colton Planning Commissioner; John Mitchell, former Colton Park Commissioner and Council Member; and Bruce Bennett, former Colton Planning Commissioner. Bennett came in second place with 31.84 percent of the vote. Voters also decided to turn down Measure T, a Transient Occupancy Room tax rate that would have increased from 10 percent to 12.5 percent to help pay for the construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of the city's athletic/recreational fields and related facilities and would have applied the tax to all rent charged by hotel operators, including online travel and short term rental companies, for transient occupancy of any hotel room. Suchil said now that the measure has failed, he will work on finding alternative funding resources for youth programs and sports fields. Colton City Clerk Carolina Padilla ran unopposed and won re-election of her position. Colton City Treasurer Aurelio W. De La Torre also ran unopposed and won re-election.
