The Mayor and Vice Mayor election happened on [[List of 2018 City Council Meetings#December 4, 2018|December 4, 2018]]. | ==== Annual Reorganization of City Council for 2019 ==== | ||
The Mayor and Vice Mayor election and the swearing in of new members happened on [[List of 2018 City Council Meetings#December 4, 2018|December 4, 2018]]. The incoming members were Jeff Wan and Carl Wolfe, and the outgoing members were Keith Haydon and Dave Shuey. | |||
An excerpt from the minutes on the proceedings: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
Election of Mayor by the City Council | |||
[Councilmember Pierce, as the tenured member of Council, to conduct the election] | |||
Councilmember Pierce opened the nominations for mayor. Councilmember Pierce | |||
nominated Tuija Catalano for the office of Mayor. | |||
Councilmember Diaz said as he reviewed the last election and all of the challenges we | |||
faced, and what will be coming in the next year, he finds himself in a difficult position in that he believes in the past we have always had someone from the position of vice mayor before ascending to mayor's position. He thinks it benefits that person in terms of experience and things that go into taking on the mayoral role. Although all of the Councilmembers are equal in stature, he stated the mayor takes the position as the administrator head of the Council and out more in the public. He remarked not having that experience as the vice mayor is a void. | |||
Councilmember Diaz then nominated Julie Pierce for the office of Mayor. | |||
Councilmember Pierce declined the nomination. | |||
Councilmember Wolfe seconded the nomination of Tuija Catalano for the office of | |||
Mayor. With no further nominations occurring, Councilmember Pierce then closed the | |||
nominations. | |||
<b>On call by Councilmember Pierce, the election of Tuija Catalano as Mayor passed | |||
by acclamation (Passed 4-0-1 vote; Diaz, abstained).</b> | |||
</blockquote> | |||
The motion by Catalano to nominate Pierce to serve as vice mayor passed 4-0-1 (Diaz - Abstain). | |||
