At the start of the meeting the Mountlake Terrace City Council completed annual liaison assignments to boards and commissions and appointed Council Member Tim Wall as mayor pro tem.
The city clerk displayed a liaison sheet on screen and staff explained green items were council‑appointed positions and blue items were appointments made by outside boards. Past practice, staff said, is to let council members pick liaison assignments by seniority. Council Member Ryan selected the Arts Advisory Commission; Council Member Woodard selected the Finance Committee as a liaison; other members selected positions including diversity, parks and regional forums. The clerk and city manager said the list will be formalized and circulated to councilmembers the next day.
Council Member Wall was the only nominee for mayor pro tem; the council approved the appointment by voice vote. The consent calendar was approved earlier in the meeting by voice vote as well.
There was discussion about alternates for certain external forums (Lake Ballinger/McAleer Creek Watershed Forum and others). Council members volunteered or passed on alternate assignments during the selection process and staff said they would finalize the roster and distribute it the next day.
Actions during this portion of the meeting included approval of the consent calendar and the voice vote appointment of the mayor pro tem.
