Wasco City Council voted unanimously Dec. 16 to appoint Mayor Pro Tem Tom Saldana as the city’s mayor and Councilmember Reina as mayor pro tem during its annual organizational meeting.
The council opened nominations for the one-year mayoral term and conducted a roll-call vote by name. After a majority indicated support for Saldana and Saldana accepted the nomination, the council took a formal roll-call vote that resulted in unanimous approval to appoint Saldana as mayor. The mayor then handed the gavel to Saldana.
The council followed the same procedure for mayor pro tem. Councilmember Raya nominated Councilmember Reina, who accepted; the council voted by roll call and unanimously appointed Reina as mayor pro tem. The council paused briefly after the votes for a recognition ceremony and photos honoring the outgoing mayor.
The actions were procedural and part of the council’s annual organizational items. No dissenting votes or amendments were recorded during the appointments. The council will complete related committee and assignment updates at its next meeting on Jan. 20.
