Council elects Council Member Goldman unanimously as vice chair
Summary
At its June 4 special meeting the Lake Forest Park City Council nominated and unanimously elected Council Member Goldman to serve as council vice chair; the vote followed a brief nomination period and remarks supporting cohesion ahead of upcoming middle-housing deliberations.
The Lake Forest Park City Council unanimously elected Council Member Goldman as council vice chair on Wednesday after a nomination from Council Member Riddle.
Riddle said the council should present a "united front" as it prepares to take up middle-housing work and nominated Goldman to help lead that effort. Goldman accepted the nomination and the council voted in favor; meeting minutes record the selection as unanimous.
Nut graf: Council members cited the busy calendar, including imminent code work on middle housing, as a reason to ensure continuity of leadership and to have an available presiding member should a colleague be absent.
Council discussed practical scheduling reasons for designating a vice chair; several members praised Goldman's prior service and his willingness to step in for the mayor when necessary. The council then adjourned the special meeting.
Ending: The vice-chair selection was the last substantive public action taken at the special meeting. The council's choice will be reflected in internal rosters and assist with continuity as the body proceeds to address budget and housing matters in coming weeks.
