Election of Acting Mayor <br />Each year, the City Council must elect a Council member to be the <br />Acting Mayor when the Mayor is absent from a meeting. In the <br />past, the most senior Council member has generally been elected to <br />this position. With the election of Arlyn Christ to be Mayor, <br />Rosemary Armstrong becomes the senior City Councillor. <br />Based on last year's selection, Graves found this to be a <br />generalization rather than something the Council followed <br />religiously. <br />M/S/F Moe/Graves - to appoint Councilmember Charles Graves as <br />Acting Mayor during the absence of Mayor Christ. (Motion failed <br />2-3<Johnson, Christ, Armstrong>). <br />Mayor Christ felt the Acting Mayor should have some Council <br />experience prior to becomming Acting Mayor. Moe responded that <br />Chuck Graves had served as Chairman of the Planning Commission for <br />two years and is well qualified to be Acting Mayor. <br />M/S/P Johnson/Christ - to appoint Council member Rosemary <br />Armstrong as Acting Mayor during the absence of Mayor Christ. <br />(Motion carried 4-1<Moe>). <br />C.
