Commission seats Wasserman as mayor and Brody as vice mayor by acclamation
Summary
Coconut Creek commissioners nominated and automatically seated Vice Mayor Wasserman as mayor and Commissioner Brody as vice mayor under Resolution 2026-035 after single nominations for each post; the appointments were announced at the March 26 meeting.
The Coconut Creek City Commission on March 26 appointed Vice Mayor Wasserman as mayor and Commissioner Brody as vice mayor for one-year terms after single nominations for each position, the commission announced by acclamation.
City Manager Sheila Rose introduced agenda business before the nominations. Commissioner Welch nominated Vice Mayor Wasserman for mayor; Commissioner Brody seconded the nomination. When no other nominations were offered, City Clerk Kavanaugh stated that, under the commission’s process, a single nominee is automatically seated. The commission offered congratulations and the newly seated mayor and vice mayor addressed the dais briefly.
Why it matters: The leadership change sets the city’s presiding officer and deputy for the next year and signals continuity of ceremonial and intergovernmental duties. The resolution associated with the appointment was listed on the agenda as Resolution 2026-035; the meeting record shows the procedural nomination and automatic seating rather than a contested roll-call vote.
The process: Nominations were made from the dais and seconded; because there was only one nominee for each post the clerk stated that those nominees were automatically seated. The commission recessed into routine business after the appointments and proceeded with public comment and other agenda items.
Next steps: The commission will carry out the mayor’s and vice mayor’s duties for the coming year; no further formal action on the appointments was recorded at the meeting.
