City Council
Timberlake was one of the longest-serving council members, "The length of service of the 73-year-old council dean is matched only by that of former Councilman John C. Holland, who retired July 1, 1967, at 74," Erwin Baker of the Los Angeles Times wrote when Timberlake announced his retirement in May 1969.
