Outgoing Deputy Mayor John J. Aguilera was recognized for his eight years of public service on the Vista City Council during a reception held in his honor prior to the City Council meeting.

“I believe Deputy Mayor Aguilera can look back with great satisfaction in all that the City of Vista has achieved together over the past eight years,” said Mayor Ritter. “It has been my pleasure to work side by side with John. During his leadership and service in our community, there was the constant that defined his work: his clear vision for Vista’s future and willingness to work effectively with others. He has been instrumental in working to move many projects forward and his service to the City has benefitted all of us, and will continue to do so well into the future.”
