KING CITY — King City Councilmember Darlene Acosta has submitted a letter of resignation vacating her District 1 council seat effective Feb. 14 due to health reasons.
“I have considered it an extreme privilege to serve our community as a member of our City Council,” Acosta said in a statement Monday. “I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all the Council, City staff and constituents for your support, friendship, professionalism and great work to make King City a better place for everyone. It has meant so much to me to be a part of it.”
Acosta was recently re-elected for her third term on the City Council, having served since 2014.

She is a valuable member of our team and will be very difficult to replace. It’s been an honor and pleasure working with Darlene on the Council.”
