 On the Sierra Madre Municipal Election Ballot November 5, 2024 will be two familiar faces 
running for the City Council seats that they currently hold. Elected in 2020 to 4 year terms, 
Kelly Kriebs and Robert Parkhurst filed the necessary documents to run for a second term. 
They both will run unopposed.

 The period for filing to run for office expired on August 9th and as of the noon deadline, 
no one applied to against them or run for the office of City Treasurer.

 The current City Treasurer, Mike Amerio who also ran in 2020 and served the city faithfully, 
chose not to run for office again.

 "Without a nominee for the office, filling the open seat will be the responsibility of the City 
Council", said City Manager Jose Reynoso. MVNews


REMEMBRANCE:

DAVID CEASAR OSTI 
1931-2024


David C Osti passed away at 93 years peacefully at his home 
in Oregon on July 13th 2024. His life will be celebrated by 
family and friends alike who hold his memory so dear.

He served in the US Navy during the Korean War and 
returned to his native Sierra Madre CA where he was born 
and raised becoming a licensed grading and excavating 
contractor. He influenced so many people with his enduring 
smile, strength, and the virtues of simple yet rewarding hard 
work to provide for his family and to help friends in need.

 He not only would give a person some work, but also 
imparted valuable skills that would better the lives of those 
he shared his with. His influence is immeasurable to those 
who benefited from knowing him.

He was preceded in passing by his wife Margaret in 2009 and leaves behind many family, 
friends, and loved ones. In an ever changing world we live in He was a lighthouse in a storm

And the source of such a light was his warm and understanding heart. We will miss you so 
much and you are forever in our memory.
