The Mountlake Terrace City Council reappointed Council Member Wall as mayor pro tem by voice vote during the meeting.
Council members selected Wall by the customary process on the dais; because only one nomination was offered, the council proceeded to a voice vote and approved the appointment with no recorded opposition. One council member said they were disappointed that the mayor pro tem position has gone to the same person for multiple consecutive terms and asked the council to revisit the practice next year so other members could "learn the ropes." The comment was entered into the record during the appointment discussion.
The appointment was confirmed without roll-call vote; the council then moved on to annual liaison assignments to boards and commissions.
