Latest version.
  • At the second regular City Commission meeting following the swearing in of newly elected officers, the City Commission shall appoint one of its members to serve as Vice-Mayor. Any member of the City Commission who has not previously served as Vice- Mayor during his or her current term of office may be selected to serve as Vice-Mayor. No second of the nomination is required. Voting shall occur in the following manner: Voting shall be by voice vote. Each member of the Commission shall vote for one nominee in each round of voting until one person obtains a majority vote. If no nominee obtains a majority in round one, there is another round of voting but the nominee with the least number of votes does not move on to round two. If there are four nominees in round one, the nominee with the most votes wins. If only one member is nominated to serve as Vice-Mayor, the Mayor shall declare the nominee appointed by acclamation without the necessity of a vote.
