RESOLUTION NO. 97—051
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING SELECTION
CRITERIA AND A TERM FOR THE MAYOR PRO TEM
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Azusa as follows:
Section 1. The City Council hereby adopts the following mayor pro tem selection criteria
and term of office:
(1) The primary intent of this Resolution is to ensure that the City's
mayor pro tem is selected on objective criteria. Criteria such as seniority
and public support as expressed in the number of votes received in an
election are to be used as the basis for selecting the mayor pro tem. It is
the Council's intent to ensure that each council member serving on the
Council receive the opportunity to serve as mayor pro tem at least once
during his or her four-year term as a council member.
(2) In March 1997, the mayor pro tem shall be that council member
who has the greatest seniority based on the number of consecutive years of
service on the Council and who received the highest number of votes in the
March 1995 general City election. However, if this council member does
not accept the nomination for mayor pro tem, the next council member
with the most seniority shall be the mayor pro tem. The council member
selected as the mayor pro tem in 1997 shall serve from the date he or she is
selected by the City Council until the third Monday in March 1998, or until
such time as his or her successor is selected by the City Council and

accepts the office.
(3) Beginning at the City Council meeting on the third Monday in
March 1998, the mayor pro tem shall be that council member with the
greatest seniority. However, if this council member does not accept the
nomination for mayor pro tem, then the next most senior council member
shall be mayor pro tem. However, if two council members have equal
seniority, then that council member who received the highest number of
votes in the March 1997 general City election shall be the mayor pro tem.
The council member serving as mayor pro tem in 1998 shall serve from the
date he or she accepts the nomination until the first Tuesday following the
general City election in March 1999, or until such time as his or her
successor is selected by the City Council and accepts the office.
(4) The successor mayor pro tem shall be the next council member with
the greatest seniority. Ties between council members based on seniority
shall be broken by that council member who received the highest number of
votes in that election where the two senior council members were elected.
(5) Successor mayors pro tem shall serve from March to March of each
year and a new successor shall be selected on the third Monday in March in
even numbered years and the second Tuesday of March in odd numbered
years. Notwithstanding this, the mayor pro tem shall continue to serve
until his or her successor takes office.
