SUBJECT: Approval of a Resolution to Amend City Council Annual Rotation Policy ========= C=================================================== === Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calexico, California, Amending the City Council Annual Rotation Policy.
Background:
The Government Code Grants the City Council the authority to select the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem.
State law does not prescribe a particular method that the City Council must use to select a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. Rather, the City Council may select and seat the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem in the manner it chooses.
On July 2, 2013, the City Council voted to move the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem rotation from December to July, beginning in July 2013. Previous to the July 2, 2013 city council action, the rotation of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem occurred in December.
On March 1, 2023, the City Council voted to move the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem rotation from July to the first meeting in February, beginning on March 1, 2023.
Discussion and Analysis:
Councilmember Moreno is recommending that the rotation be moved to the second regular meeting in May beginning with this meeting of May 15, 2024.
The City Council may:
1. Approve the proposed Resolution, which will change the annual Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem rotation date from the first regular meeting in February to the second regular meeting in May.
2. Not approve the proposed Resolution; Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem Pro Tem rotation will continue to occur in February.
3. Provide alternative direction.
