Approval of the Mayor Pro Tempore
For the year 2015
Proposed Action
Council Report 2014-108
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move Appoint Council Member Halverson as
the Mayor Pro Tempore for the year 2015.
Overview
Minnesota State Statue section 412.121 and Hopkins City Charter section 2.06 states that at the first
meeting of each year the City Council shall choose a Mayor Pro Tempore. The Mayor Pro Tempore
shall serve as the presiding officer and Acting Mayor of the Council in the absence of the Mayor.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Who should serve as the Mayor Pro Tempore?
Traditionally the Council Member who has served the longest is chosen.
Alternatives
• Appoint Council Member Halverson as Mayor Pro Tempore
• Appoint another Council Member as Mayor Pro Tempore
Staff recommends alternative one, appoint Council Member Halverson as Mayor Pro Tempore for
2015.
