Council elects new mayor pro tem after nominations
Summary
La Porte City Council held nominations and a show-of-hands election for mayor pro tem; a nominee won a majority and the council read Ordinance 2026-5040 confirming the selection.
La Porte City Council used successive nominations and a show‑of‑hands ballot to elect a new mayor pro tem during its June 8 meeting. After several nominations from the dais, council members voted in order until one candidate received a majority and the mayor announced the selection.
Council followed with the reading of Ordinance 2026-5040, described on the agenda as providing for the election of a council member to serve as mayor pro tem from 06/08/2026 until a successor is appointed and qualified. The council president explained voting would proceed in the order nominations were received; the first candidate to receive a majority would be elected. After the ballots were counted, the mayor declared the candidate elected.
The council took the action on the dais and made the procedural certification in the record; the ordinance number linked to the item (2026-5040) was read as part of the proceedings. The council then moved on to the consent agenda.
