Council appoints Tom as mayor pro tem after re-vote
Summary
Council members debated nominations for mayor pro tem; an initial nomination for Councilmember Baker met opposition, the body reopened nominations and then appointed Tom as mayor pro tem by voice vote.
The Rainier City Council appointed Tom as mayor pro tem after a brief, contested sequence of nominations and voice votes. A council member first nominated Councilmember Baker for the post; that motion drew opposition and the council then reopened nominations, nominated Tom and approved his appointment.
The chair announced the outcome: "Tom will be our mayor pro tem." The sequence began when the matter was added to new business by motion. After the initial nomination and a voice tally that included 'aye' and 'opposed' responses, the council moved to nominate and confirm Tom. The action concluded with the chair's announcement and no written roll-call tally presented in the transcript.
