City Council
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.
