HomeMy WebLinkAboutE Staff Report - Mayor Pro Tem SelectionAGENDA ITEM E TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL VIA: TROY L. BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER FROM: ADRIAN GARCIA, CMC, CHIEF DEPUTY CITY CLERK DATE: APRIL 10, 2017 SUBJECT: SELECTION OF MAYOR PRO-TEM SUMMARY: Resolution No. 2010-C20 adopted March 22, 2010, establishes criteria for the selection of Mayor Pro- Tem. A Mayor Pro-Tem is to be selected on the third Monday in March, and should be the Council Member with the greatest seniority. The Mayor Pro-Tem shall serve from March until March of each succeeding year. Due to the consolidation of the City’s municipal election with the County of Los Angeles there was a delay in receiving the certified election results. As a result, the City was unable to select a Mayor Pro Tem in March. This action will approve the selection of a Mayor Pro-Tem for the period of April, 2017 through March, 2018. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action: 1) Approve the selection of Council Member Uriel Edward Macias as Mayor Pro-Tem for a one-year term, expiring March, 2018. DISCUSSION: Resolution No. 2010-C20 adopted March 22, 2010, establishes criteria for the selection of Mayor Pro- Tem. A Mayor Pro-Tem is to be selected on the third Monday in March, and should be the Council Member with the greatest seniority. The Mayor Pro-Tem shall serve from March until March of each succeeding year. Because the City consolidated its election with the County of Los Angeles the certified election results were not available until after the third meeting in March. California Government Code Section 36801 provides that reorganization of the City Council shall occur after the declaration of the election results and installation of elected official.
