Council names Dave Graff interim vice chair in 5–2 roll call
Summary
The Ogden City Council appointed Councilmember Dave Graff as interim vice chair in a 5–2 roll‑call vote at its Jan. 6 meeting; Graff was sworn in and pledged to collaborate with new members during the transition month.
The Ogden City Council elected Councilmember Dave Graff as council vice chair on Jan. 6, approving the appointment in a roll‑call vote reported on the record as 5–2.
Councilmember Ritchie nominated Graff and a motion to appoint him was seconded; Graff used his brief remarks to stress collaboration with new council members and to support clear communication between the council and the administration. One councilmember who voted against the appointment said the November election represented a change and urged the council to consider future leadership votes in that context.
After the roll call, Graff — who was present at the meeting — stood and repeated the oath of office administered by an official at the dais and thanked members for the opportunity to serve in the interim role. No formal amendments accompanied the appointment; the chair said the no votes were welcome to explain their rationale, and a short exchange followed in which one dissenting member expressed concern about the direction of leadership.
Council members and the mayor congratulated Graff; the council then moved to the next agenda items.
