Prepared By: Elaina Cano, City Clerk f'Cazil'
SUBJECT: VICE MAYOR APPOINTMENT FOR 2011
RECOMMENDATION:
Appoint Council Member John Ashbaugh as Vice Mayor to serve a one-year term commencing
upon appointment.
DISCUSSION
Section 408 of the City's Charter requires that the Council elect one of its members to serve in the
position of Vice Mayor.
Section 3.2 of the Council Policies and Procedures provides that the appointment of the Vice
Mayor shall be for a one-year term, that the appointment shall be made on a rotational basis, and
that the appointment shall go to the next senior member. This practice ensures that each Council
Member will have an opportunity to serve as Vice Mayor during his or her term.
Following current Council policy of rotating the Vice Mayor position, and consistent with Council
practice over the past six years, Council Member Ashbaugh is next in line for the opportunity to
serve as Vice Mayor. Vice Mayor appointments for the prior six years have been as follows:
Council Member Ewan-2005
Council Member Settle-2006
Council Member Mulholland—2007
Council Member Brown—2008
Council Member Settle—2009
Council Member Carter- 2010
Looking to the future, the rotation dictates that Council Member Smith would serve in 2012 and
the Council Member who will\fill the vacancy created by Mayor Marx in 2013.
