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.
If all Council Members have previously served as Mayor Pro-Tem, the Mayor Pro-Tem shall be that
Council Member with the greatest seniority. If such Council Member does not accept the nomination
for Mayor Pro-Tem, then the next most senior Council Member shall be offered the position of Mayor
Pro-Tem. However, if two or more Council Members qualify for the position of Mayor Pro-Tem by
virtue of having equal seniority, then that Council Member who received the highest number of votes in
the March General City Election shall be the Mayor Pro-Tem.
