Re: Designate Acting Mayor
Background:
State Statute requires the Council to elect an acting Mayor at the annual meeting (first regular
meeting of the year). The acting mayor is elected among the council members and performs
the duties of the mayor during the mayor’s disability or absence from the city, or, if there is a
vacancy, until a successor has been appointed.
Bob Hegland was the acting mayor in 2016 and Chris Ness was the acting mayor in 2015.
Issue:
Who does the council elect as the acting mayor for 2017?
Proposal Details:
Council members may choose from the following: Bob Hegland, Steve Kronmiller, Chris Ness, or
Jim Schneider.
