Council approves consent calendar with one recorded no; continues review of mayor-selection policy

The Glendale City Council approved its consent calendar on June 10, with one council member recording a no vote on item 4C. The council also voted to continue discussion of the mayor-selection policy in Glendale Municipal Code section 2.04.020 to the next meeting to ensure a full council is present.

Council member discussion: A council member asked that item 4C be noted as a no vote for the record. “I like to pull 4 c. I'm going to, not vote for that item because it was decided 3 years ago,” said the council member during the consent-item call. The motion to approve the remainder of the consent calendar was moved and carried in a roll-call vote, with other council members voting yes and the no vote recorded for item 4C.

Continuation of item 8A: The council read item 8A into the record as "City attorney, review of mayor selection policy set in Glendale municipal code section 2.04.020, and discussion of alternate provisions, 1 motion directing staff." The mayor and council agreed to continue the matter to the council’s next regular meeting so a full complement of council members can participate. The continuance passed in a roll-call vote with members voting in the affirmative.

Adjournment: The council adjourned the special meeting at the close of the session.

Details and next steps: The transcript records the roll-call votes and the notation of the single no vote on item 4C. The item 8A continuation was scheduled for the next meeting (noted in the record as June 24, 2025, or the next regular meeting per staff comment). The council did not take further action on the substance of the mayor-selection policy during the June 10 session.
