Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Sacramento City Charter and the Council Rules of Procedure require the Council to elect by a majority vote a Vice Mayor from among its members, other than the Mayor, to serve for a one-year term concurrent with the calendar year at the Council’s first meeting in January. The Vice Mayor will be able to serve as acting Mayor in the event the Mayor becomes unavailable.
Policy Considerations: Sacramento City Charter section 45 and the Council Rules of Procedure Chapter 2, Section B-2, require a Vice Mayor to be elected annually from among the members of the Council, other than the Mayor, by a majority vote at the Council’s first meeting in January.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: None.
Sustainability: None.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: It is in the best interest of the City to select a Vice Mayor each year to serve as acting Mayor in the event the Mayor is absent or becomes unavailable. In the absence of the Mayor from the city or a Council meeting, the Vice Mayor shall possess all powers of the office of the mayor, and be subject to all prescribed duties for that office.
Financial Considerations: None.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): None.
