FROM: Greg Hermann, Acting Assistant City Manager
Prepared By: Carrie Gallagher, City Clerk
SUBJECT: VICE MAYOR APPOINTMENT FOR 2018
RECOMMENDATION
Appoint Council Member Carlyn Christianson 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 ten years, Council Member Christianson is next in line for the
opportunity to serve as Vice Mayor. The appointment of Vice Mayor for the prior ten years has
been as follows:
1.Council Member Brown 2008
2.Council Member Settle 2009
3.Council Member Carter 2010
4.Council Member Ashbaugh 2011
5.Council Member Carpenter 2012
6.Council Member Smith 2013
7.Council Member Christianson 2014
8.Council Member Ashbaugh 2015
9.Council Member Carpenter 2016
10. Council Member Rivoire 2017
11. Council Member Christianson (Current Recommendation)
Looking to the future, the rotation indicates that either Council Member Gomez or Pease will be
eligible to serve in 2019. This practice ensures that each Council Member will serve one year of
his/her four-year term in the capacity of Vice Mayor.
