Sedro-Woolley council names Nick Lavaca mayor pro tem in 4–3 vote
Summary
The Sedro-Woolley City Council voted 4–3 to appoint Nick Lavaca as mayor pro tem during its first meeting of the year. The decision followed competing nominations and brief roll-call voting at the dais.
The Sedro-Woolley City Council appointed Nick Lavaca as mayor pro tem after roll-call votes during its Jan. 7 meeting. The mayor announced the outcome, saying, “At 4 to 3 we have a new mayor pro tem, Nick Lavaca.”
The appointment came after nominations were opened by the mayor and candidates were put forward by councilmembers. Council proceeded down the line for individual yes-or-no responses from members before declaring the result. Councilmembers who voted in favor and those opposed were recorded on the dais during the roll call.
The mayor opened the session and moved the council through new business before the vote. The council then continued with other agenda items, including a staff briefing on council goals and a longer discussion about committee structure and the governance handbook.
The meeting closed after public comment and a brief closed session; no additional action was reported on the appointment. The council’s next scheduled meeting is Wednesday, Jan. 14, at 6 p.m.
