CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
FROM: Mayor Allen K. Settle U 41,5
PREPARED BY: Sherry Stendahl, Council Secretary
SUBJECT: VICE MAYOR APPOINTMENT
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Appoint Council Member Romero to serve as Vice Mayor for one
year and three months, September 1, 1998 through December, 1999.
DISCUSSION:
Council Policies and Procedures provides for the appointment of the Vice Mayor at the first meeting
in December to 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 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 a provided in this Charter.
With the current policy of rotating the Vice Mayor position, a review of the past four years indicates
that Council Member Dave Romero is next in line to serve the upcoming one-year tern as Vice
Mayor. With the August 31, 1998 resignation of Council Member Kathy Smith, current Vice
Mayor, it is necessary to immediately appoint a replacement. It would seem appropriate for Council
Member Dave Romero to serve the remainder of 1998 and the full year of 1999.
