CITY OF SAN LUIS O B I S P O
FROM: Lee Price, City Clerk
SUBJECT: VICE MAYOR APPO/ NT FOR 2004
CAO RECOMMENDATIONS:
Appoint Council Member Ken Schwartz as Vice Mayor to serve a one-year term commencing
upon appointment.
DISCUSSION
Council Policies and Procedures provide for appointment of the Vice Mayor in December and
that the appointment shall be for a one-year term on a rotational basis, the appointment going to
the next senior member. In addition, Section 408 of the City's Charter states:
The Council shall elect one of its members to be the Vice Mayor. During the temporary
absence or disability of the Mayor, the Vice Mayor shall act as Mayor Pro Tempore...In
case of vacancy in the office of Mayor, the Vice Mayor shall act as Mayor until such
vacancy can be filled as provided in this Charter.
A review of the past four years indicates that Council Member Ken Schwartz is next in line for
the opportunity to serve:
Council Member Romero served in 1999
Council Member Schwartz served in 2000
Council Member Ewan served in 2001
Council Member Marx served in 2002
Council Member Mulholland served in 2003
Looking to the future, the rotation would suggest that Council Member Ewan would serve in
2005 and Council Member Settle in 2006.
