From the city's website:

The City Council is the elected policy-making body for the City of Clayton. It is comprised of five members elected at-large who serve four-year overlapping terms. The Mayor is selected annually by the City Council from among its members. The City Council serves as the Board of Directors for the Successor Agency for the Clayton Redevelopment Agency, the Clayton Financing Authority and the Geological Hazard Abatement District. Council members represent the City on the governing boards of numerous Joint Powers Authorities.

Annual Reorganization of Clayton City Council

Every year in December, the City Council elects a new Mayor and Vice Mayor from its members. The mayor conducts an election for a new mayor based on nominations from City Council. Then the new mayor conducts an election for a new vice mayor.

In election years this is preceded by remarks by outgoing city council members and the swearing in of new members.

This process is visible in the minutes, for example December 6, 2022 when council member Kim Trupiano was sworn in.

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.
