Mike Karbassi

District 2 Council MemberDistrict 2, 2024-cohort seat (second full term; GV Wire 2024 District 2 preview). Current term official start 2025-01-07; ceremonial oath Jan 9 2025 (abc30). Rule: Fresno City Charter Art. III s.305, as quoted in the City of Fresno council report for Bill B-37 (agendas.fresno.gov ID 15-886, Oct 8 2015): a successor Councilmember 'officially assumes office' on the 'first Tuesday following the first Monday in January'; council resolution 22-947 applies it to the 2022 winners (2023-01-03). A four-year term therefore ends on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of January four years later. End = 2029-01-02. Earlier oaths (2019, 2021, council agenda 21-060) are prior service, not this term's start.
