Council ratifies voter‑approved charter change to allow direct election of mayor
Summary
Council adopted a resolution formally recognizing a charter amendment approved by voters that changes Sweet Home's charter to permit direct election of the mayor by voters rather than selection by the council.
Council adopted Resolution Number 15 for 2025 to formally acknowledge and carry out the charter amendment approved by voters on May 20 that permits direct election of the mayor by the city's voters rather than selection by the council from among its members.
Staff said the council had previously referred the measure to the ballot via Resolution Number 6 for 2025 and reminded the council that the measure passed at the May 20 election. Staff recommended adoption of the recognition/resolution as a procedural step following the ballot result.
Council moved, seconded and voted unanimously to adopt Resolution Number 15 for 2025. No amendments or additional implementation steps were recorded at the meeting; staff presented the resolution as a formal recognition of the voter action.
