SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Idaho Code § 50-805 states that the governing body of any city governed by the Council/Manager form of
government shall consist of five (5) Members. McCall City Code states that the Mayor shall be elected by
the Council from among its membership for a term of two (2) years at the first meeting of the newly elected
Council after each general or special election of members of the Council; the Mayor may be removed by
the Council per Idaho Code section 50-809. The Mayor shall preside at the meetings of the Council and
perform such other duties consistent with the office as may be imposed by the Council. The Mayor shall be
entitled to a vote on all matters coming before the Council but shall possess no veto power. The Mayor shall
be recognized as the official head of the City for all ceremonial purposes, by the courts for the purposes of
serving civil processes, and by the Governor for military purpose. The Mayor may use the title of Mayor in
any case in which the execution of contracts or other legal instruments in writing, or other necessity arising
from the general laws of this State may so require, but this shall not be construed as conferring upon the
office administrative powers or functions of a Mayor under the general laws of the State per Idaho Code
section 50-810.
The process to elect the Mayor from the Council members is that the Clerk will call for nominations. Once
the nominations are made, anyone nominated may either accept or decline the nomination. Each nominee
will then have an opportunity to address the Council as to why they would like to be Mayor. After each
nominee has spoken then the Clerk will ask for a vote by a show of hands for each nominee. The nominee
with the most Council votes will be Mayor. The votes will be documented in the minutes. Attached is a list
of Mayoral duties that prior Mayors have participated in as well as Idaho Code regarding Mayoral duties.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Elect a Mayor for the term January 2020 through December 2021.
