City of <br /> Elk - Request for Action <br /> River O. <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 9.1 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> General Business January 5, 2015 Tina Allard, City Clerk <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Appoint Acting Mayor Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Action Requested <br /> Appoint,by motion, an acting mayor for 2015. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> Per city code and state law, the Council is required to appoint an acting mayor. The acting mayor <br /> performs the duties of mayor during disability or absence of the mayor, or if there is a vacancy in the <br /> office, or until a successor has been appointed. <br /> Although all Councilmembers are eligible for appointment at any time, our past practice is a rotation <br /> from Wards 4-1-3-2,which corresponds with the election terms and allows for a year of experience for <br /> new Councilmembers before assuming the acting role. <br /> 2004 Ward 4—Motin 2012 Ward 4—Motin <br /> 2005 Ward 1 —Dietz 2013 Ward 2—West acrd <br /> 2006 Ward 3—Farber 2014 Ward 1 —Wilson <br /> 2007 Ward 2—Gumphrey 2015 Ward 3 -Burandt <br /> 2008 Ward 4—Motin 2016 Ward 4 <br /> 2009 Ward 1 —Zerwas 2017 Ward 1 <br /> 2010 Ward 3—West acrd 2018 Ward 3 <br /> 2011 Ward 2—Gumphrey 2019 Ward 2 <br /> In 2014, the acting mayor position changed due to the Ward 1 seat vacancy. Please note that <br /> Councilmember Westgaard moved Wards following redistricting for the 2012 election. At the January 6, <br /> 2014 meeting,the Council expressed consensus to return to the original rotation which would best work <br /> for 2016. <br /> To return to our past practice,it is recommended to appoint Councilmember Burandt as acting mayor for <br /> 2015 and return to the 4-1-3-2 Ward rotation in 2016. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ None <br /> P a w E A E U a r <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INIM UREI <br />
