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.
With the current policy of rotating the Vice Mayor position, a review of the past four years
indicates that Council Member Jan Howell Marx is next in line for the opportunity to serve.
