(1055/1413) <br />-- Passed to Print <br />M/SIC Glaze and Galvan. Ayes: 6; Noes: 0; Absent: Lothrop <br />D. Matter of Appointment of Vice Mayor. <br />The City Attorney explained how the City Charter had been amended in 1994 to <br />provide for the City Council to set the date of their elections by ordinance and to <br />establish the date for the commencement of the terms of office. The Charter still <br />currently provides for the selection of the Vice Mayor at the first meeting in May. <br />It would take a Charter amendment to provide for a different time for the <br />appointment of the Vice Mayor. That Charter Amendment could provide that the <br />manner of the selection of the Vice Mayor shall be determined by ordinance as <br />adopted by the City Council. If the City Council desires to do that, a Charter <br />Amendment would have to be submitted to the voters at the General Municipal <br />Election in the year 2000 to be effective thereafter. <br />Vice Mayor Galvan indicated he would be happy to continue serving as Vice <br />Mayor, if that is the pleasure of the Council. <br />The following Motion was then introduced: <br />-- Minute Order No. 99-27, Matter of Appointment of Vice Mayor. (1315) <br />The City Council re-appointed Gordon Galvan as Vice Mayor. <br />M/S/C Grant and Nardine. Ayes: 5; Noes: 0; Absent: Lothrop; <br />Abstained: Galvan <br />E.
