DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council ratify the mayor and mayor pro tempore.
BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting on May 8, 2012, the City Council determined to continue with
mayor transition in December and add a ratification of the current mayor and mayor pro tempore
when the election results are certified.
Historically, Council has selected its mayor and mayor pro tempore in December each year.
When the Council incorporated in 1987, the City Council adopted a policy of selecting the mayor
on an annual basis to coincide with the City's birthday on December 15.
California Government Code section 36801 states "The city council shall meet at the meeting at
which the declaration of the election results for a general municipal election is made pursuant to
Sections 10262 and 10263 of the Elections Code and, following the declaration of the election
results and the installation of elected officials, choose one of its number as mayor, and one of its
number as mayor pro tempore." The City's election was recently held on April 8th and the
election results are customarily declared at the second Council meeting in April, which is this
meeting.
This item before the Council for consideration is ratification of the current mayor and mayor pro
tempore to coincide with the certification of the election results of April 8, 2014.
