Campbell appoints new vice mayor after restaurant incident involving Elliot Scozzola

Campbell has a new vice mayor after the City Council removed the title from one councilmember in the wake of alleged inappropriate behavior at a local restaurant.

The City Council this past Tuesday unanimously voted to appoint Councilmember Anne Bybee as vice mayor after Elliot Scozzola, who represents District 4, was removed from the position at a March 3 meeting. The Campbell Police Department has been involved in several incidents with Scozzola since he joined the council in December 2022. The most recent incident happened at The Garret bar and restaurant near The Pruneyard shopping center on Feb. 2.
