Date Item# L1
A Council Member has requested clarification as to the recommendation of Council Member
Carlyn Christianson for appointment to Vice Mayor.
Section 3.2 of the Council Policies and Procedures reads as follows:
The appointment of the Vice Mayor shall be for a one-year term and is made on a
rotational basis, the appointment going to the next senior member. The Vice
Mayor shall be appointed at the first meeting in December
The practice of rotating the position of Vice Mayor ensures that each Council Member will have
an opportunity to serve as Vice Mayor during his or her term. Each of the sitting Council
Members has served as Vice Mayor during their current term with the exception of Council
Member Christianson.
Council Member Ashbaugh — 2011
Council Member Carpenter — 2012
Council Member Smith — 2013
Former Council Member Andrew Carter was next in rotation for the position of Vice Mayor.
Council Member Christianson was elected to the unexpired term of Mr. Carter and her term is to
expire in November 2014. In regard to the requirement that the appointment go to the next
senior member, it is staff s interpretation that the position go to the next senior member that has
not yet served as Vice Mayor. Therefore, it is recommended that Council Member Christianson
be appointed to Vice Mayor.
