Elgin council elects Sue Brazier as mayor pro tem after extended nominations process
Summary
City Council selected Councilmember Sue Brazier as mayor pro tem following nominations and votes. The process included multiple nominations and a recorded roll call; councilmembers noted succession and training as reasons for nominations.
The newly seated Elgin City Council elected Councilmember Sue Brazier as mayor pro tem in a roll-call vote during Tuesday’s meeting.
The council held nominations following an outline of the mayor pro tem duties included in the city charter. Councilmembers nominated Councilmember Love and Councilmember Brazier; after recorded votes the council confirmed Brazier for the one-year position.
Council discussion touched on leadership development and succession. One councilmember said Love had recently received a Texas Municipal League certified municipal official award and was being considered to gain leadership experience; another speaker praised Brazier’s years of council service as qualifications for the mayor pro tem role. The clerk conducted roll-call votes for each nomination as required by the charter and staff recorded the results.
After the vote, the council president (mayor) said the council will consider future succession arrangements, including the possible return of the deputy mayor pro tem role.
The vote was entered on the record and the council moved to executive session soon afterward.
