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. The Acting Mayor also serves as an authorized
signer with banking institutions.
Heather Benson was appointed to be Acting Mayor for 2022.
Issue:
Who does the Council elect as the Acting Mayor for 2023?
