Summary

After two nominations and a roll-call vote, the Beaverton City Council elected Councilor Edward Kimmy as council president; the council also approved a consent-agenda amendment to swap liaison roles on the Willamette Water Supply System board.

At a regular meeting, the Beaverton City Council elected Councilor Edward Kimmy as council president following two nominations from the floor and a roll-call vote.

Council members nominated Councilor Duggar first and then Councilor Kimmy. After the second nomination the council conducted a roll-call vote that recorded affirmative votes for Kimmy from Councilors Duggar, Hartmeyer Prigg, Hassan, Kimmy, Teeter, Tivnan and Mayor Beatty; the council congratulated Kimmy after the vote. "Congratulation, councilor Kimmy," Mayor Beatty said after the outcome was announced.

The vote followed procedural discussion about whether to take a voice vote or a roll call when multiple nominations are on the table. City staff conducted the roll-call that finalized the selection.

Separately during the consent agenda the council approved an amendment to agenda bill 24168 to change the Willamette Water Supply System board liaison: Edward Kimmy will be the primary liaison and Councilor Teeter will serve as alternate. The amendment was moved, seconded and approved by roll call as part of the consent calendar.

No formal objections to the nomination result were recorded in the transcript. The council moved on to visitor comments and other agenda business after the swearing-in and procedural votes.
