TITLE: CITY COUNCIL REORGANIZATION – SELECTION OF
MAYOR PRO TEM (REPORT OF: CITY CLERK)
TITLE SUMMARY: Selection of Mayor Pro Tem
Recommendation(s)
That the City Council:
1. Conduct the reorganization of the City Council by selecting one Councilmember to serve a one-year term as Mayor Pro Tem.
SUMMARY
The City Council traditionally meets annually in December to choose one of its members as Mayor Pro Tem, with the new Mayor Pro Tem being sworn in and assuming office at the same meeting. This item was initially scheduled for the December 17, 2024 Council meeting but was continued and is back for consideration at the January 7, 2025 Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
Section 4.1.3 of the Rules of Procedure provides that nominations for the office of Mayor Pro Tem may be made by any member of the City Council and need not be seconded in order to be effective. Appointment shall be made by three or more affirmative votes on a motion to appoint. In the event that no person receives three or more votes in the selection process, the selection process shall be repeated immediately; provided, however, that the two persons receiving the highest number of votes in the preceding

selection process shall be the only nominees. If, upon repeating the selection process of Mayor Pro Tem, no person has yet received three affirmative votes for such office, the City Council may either repeat the selection process until the officer has been duly selected or may continue the selection to the next regular meeting of the City Council.
The new Mayor Pro Tem shall serve until the next meeting scheduled for selection of the Mayor Pro Tem in December 2025.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Conduct the reorganization of the City Council by selecting a Mayor Pro Tem.
2. Continue the selection to the next regular meeting of the City Council if upon repeating the selection process, no person receives three affirmative votes for Mayor Pro Tem.
FISCAL IMPACT
