N10UND1tSVVfE-W <br />City of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No: 8.B. <br />Meeting Date: July 24, 2023 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resource Director <br />Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 1005 Amending Section 31.001 <br />(B) of the Mounds View City Code Regarding the Composition of the Council <br />and Establishing a Vice Acting Mayor <br />Background <br />Due to the passing of Mayor Al Hull on May 20, 2023, legal recognized the need to amend the position <br />of Acting Mayor to Mayor until such time as the office Mayor is filled by an election. <br />Discussion <br />In the event there is a vacancy in the office of mayor, the Council will be able to appoint a permanent <br />backup to the Acting Mayor. The amendment does not require annual appointment of the Vice Acting <br />Mayor, but permits the Council to appoint the backup Vice Acting Mayor if there is a vacancy in the <br />office of Mayor. This is a prudent course of action for Mounds View since the Mounds View Charter <br />does not allow the Council to immediately fill a vacancy by appointment in certain situations resulting in <br />relatively long periods of time where the City would be operating without a backup Mayor, as is the <br />current case due to the vacancy in the office of the Mayor. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends conducting the First Reading and Introduction. A Public Hearing will be scheduled <br />for August 14, 2023. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />FN V <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resource Director <br />Attachment(s): <br />Ordinance 1005, First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 1005 Amending Section 31.001 (B) of the Mounds View City Code Regarding the <br />Composition of the Council and Establishing a Vice Acting Mayor <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
