Staff recommends that the City Council select a Council Member to serve as Mayor Pro Tem for a two-year term.

BACKGROUND:
Traditionally the City Council will select a Mayor Pro Tem to serve a two-year term after each election. According to the current City Council Policy Manual, the Mayor Pro Tem will serve in the capacity of the Mayor during their absence or disability.
DISCUSSION:
With the approval of the City Charter in the November 8, 2016, Election, beginning in 2018, there will be an approved policy in place on how the rotating Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem are selected. The proposed policy will be presented to Council in January 2017. The current two year term for Mayor Pro Tem will fall under the existing City Council Policy Manual as the Charter provision related to the Mayoral rotation does not take effect until the end of the current Mayor's term (December 2018).
