Millbrae council appoints Anders Fun as vice mayor amid protocol questions
Summary
With council rotation rules unsettled by recent appointments and district elections, the council appointed Council Member Anders Fun as vice mayor after discussion and public comment; one council member abstained.
The Millbrae City Council appointed Council Member Anders Fun to serve as vice mayor on May 26 after a council discussion about protocol and eligibility under the city’s mayor/vice mayor rotation rules.
City Clerk Elaine Tran summarized the protocol and explained that recent appointed seats and the city’s move to district elections produced an unusual eligibility situation: no single member met all protocol criteria. After discussion and public comment, the council moved to fill the vice mayor post by appointment.
Council Member Riley said the choice followed from the current composition and circumstances. After a motion and second, the council approved Fun’s appointment with one abstention noted. Staff told the council that upcoming protocol revisions (planned for a July rules committee meeting) will address rotation mechanics in district-based elections and clarify how future vice-mayor placements should be handled.
The appointment is administrative and does not change the council’s standing membership; it assigns the vice mayor duties (presiding in the mayor’s absence and other procedural responsibilities) to Fun until rotation rules are updated or replaced by subsequent council action.
