Council confirms Glenn White as Troutdale council president
Summary
The Troutdale City Council unanimously elected Councilor Glenn White council president on Jan. 14, 2025, after a public comment period that included historical context about mayoral succession.
The Troutdale City Council unanimously elected Councilor Glenn White as council president during its Jan. 14, 2025, regular meeting, following a nomination and a voice/roll-call confirmation vote.
The nomination came from Councilor Carol (surname not specified in transcript), who proposed Glenn White for the position. After a second and a motion to close nominations, the council conducted the required voice/roll-call confirmation and recorded unanimous support by members present.
The post-nomination public comment period included historical context. Paul Wilcox, speaking from Zoom, reminded the council that the council president can serve as acting mayor for extended periods in the event of a mayoral vacancy and urged members to review meeting minutes from 1993 and 1994 that led to the current charter. David Weidaspien, who identified himself as Glenn White’s brother, spoke in support of White’s selection.
Council members conducted a roll-call confirmation after closing nominations; the mayor and all council members present voted to confirm White.
No ordinance or charter change was made during the vote; the action was the internal election of a presiding council officer. The council moved next to routine business following the confirmation.
