Woodinville council elects Sarah Arndt as mayor, James Randolph deputy mayor
Summary
In a special Jan. 6 session, the council elected Sarah Arndt mayor by roll call (6–1) and selected James Randolph as deputy mayor; nominations were made from the floor and results were announced immediately following votes.
Woodinville’s City Council elected Sarah Arndt as mayor and James Randolph as deputy mayor during a special meeting Jan. 6. Nominations for mayor were made from the floor; Sarah Arndt and Al Taylor were nominated. During an open election conducted by roll call, six council members cast their vote for Sarah Arndt and one voted for Al Taylor. Arndt was declared mayor and offered brief remarks.
The council then held an open election for deputy mayor. James Randolph and Al Taylor were nominated; the roll-call votes gave a majority to James Randolph, who was seated as deputy mayor. The mayor administered or directed the deputy mayor election process and congratulated the newly elected officers.
Council procedural rules were followed: nominations were made from the floor with no seconds required, and the results were announced before proceeding to other business. The council then moved on with its agenda after the leadership selections.
The elections were internal council actions and do not change the composition of council seats; they determine who holds the leadership roles for meeting chairing and related duties.
