Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Wheelwright, Deputy City Clerk
DATE December 7, 2020
SUBJECT: Reorganization of City Council, Selection of Mayor and Mayor Pro
Tempore
Background and Analysis:
City Council recently adopted a rules and procedures for selection of Mayor and Mayor
Pro Tempore. The policy was adopted as follows:
2.04.090 - Nomination of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore.
The City Council selection of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore shall occur annually at
the first Council meeting in December during a year in which no Council Member seat is
open for election or at the second regular or special Council meeting in December
during a year in which Council Member seats are open for election. The Mayor and
Mayor Pro Tempore selection shall occur by a seniority rotation process as follows:
A. The office of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore shall rotate each year based on the
number of years each Council Member has been in office. Each Council Member shall
be given a specified position in the rotation sequence. The first person in the sequence,
as determined by tenure on the City Council, shall serve as Mayor. The second person
in the sequence, shall serve as Mayor Pro Tempore.
B. After serving as Mayor, that Council Member moves to the end of the rotation
sequence and the other four Council Members move forward, causing the Mayor Pro
Tempore to become the Mayor.
C. The next Council Member in the rotation after the Mayor Pro Tempore shall then
become the Mayor Pro Tempore.
D. When a Council Member is newly elected or appointed, the new Council Member
is placed in the fourth position in the rotation, after all incumbents, but bef ore the current
outgoing Mayor.
30
Item 4.
E. If two or more Council Members are newly elected at the same time, the number of
votes received in the election determines the Council Members position in the
sequence, with the Council Member receiving the fewest votes placed last in the
rotation but before the current outgoing Mayor.
F. Incumbent Council Members, when re-elected, retain their placement in the
rotation.
G. If for any reason a Council Member is removed from the rotation, the remaining
Council Members move forward in the sequence.
H. A Council Member may decline to serve as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tempore. In this
case, the office would pass to the next Council Member on the list. The Council Member
who declined may drop back one position in the rotation.
I. The selection of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore must be ratified by three
affirmative votes. If the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tempore fail to receive three affirmative
votes, they retain their current position in the rotation and the office would pass to the
next Council Member on the list, subject to ratification by three affirmative votes. This
process continues until a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore are ratified by three affirmative
votes. The newly selected Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore shall be seated i n their
positions immediately after they have been approved by three affirmative Council
Member votes.
J. The City Clerk shall keep and update a list outlining the rotational sequence.
K. A Council Member may serve as Mayor or Mayor Pro Tempore a tot al of two years
during a four-year term of office on the Council, but shall not serve as Mayor or Mayor
Pro Tempore in consecutive years.
