Item No: 8B <br />/25/2023 <br />MOUN-DS <br />MEW <br />Meeting Date: it Business Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator review: <br />City or Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 1005 Amending Section <br />31.001 (B) of the Mounds View City Code Regarding the Composition <br />of the Council 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 <br />position 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 <br />permanent backup to the Acting Mayor. The amendment does not require annual appointment <br />of the Vice Acting Mayor, but permits the Council to appoint the backup Vice Acting Mayor if <br />there is a vacancy in the office of Mayor. This is a prudent course of action for Mounds View <br />since the Mounds View Charter does not allow the Council to immediately fill a vacancy by <br />appointment in certain situations resulting in relatively long periods of time where the City <br />would be operating without a backup Mayor, as is the current case due to the vacancy in the <br />office of the Mayor. <br />Introduction and first reading of this ordinance took place on July 24, 2023. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends conducting the Second Reading and adoption of Ordinance 1005. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Nyle Zikmund <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
