Johnson, 55, has worked for the Crystal Geyser Water Company as a business executive. However, he is familiar with city affairs, considering he worked with the Cypress Parks and Recreation Department and the Traffic Commission in the past.
Yarc, on the other hand, has made a living as an attorney and practices family law.
Council members Phil Luebben and Todd Seymore have been termed out due to a rule that council members can only serve two terms in the city in their lifetime.
