Council discussion on mayor pro tem selection; no final vote recorded
Summary
Mayor proposed continuing Council member Tyler Skeena as mayor pro tem for 2025. Several council members raised procedural concerns about voting when members were absent and suggested placing the item on the next agenda; the meeting did not record a completed, final vote on the office.
The mayor proposed that Council member Tyler Skeena continue as mayor pro tem for 2025. A motion to accept the mayor’s recommendation was made and seconded, but several council members expressed concern that too many members were absent and preferred to complete the selection when a fuller quorum was present.
Council members discussed nomination procedure — whether the position is selected annually or only as needed when the mayor is absent, and how nominations and votes are handled. A motion was made to accept the mayor’s proposal; it was seconded. Multiple members voiced unease about finalizing the selection at a meeting when many councilmembers were not present. There was not a recorded roll-call approval or final tally in the meeting transcript, and the topic was discussed as likely to be placed on the next council agenda for formal action.
