CR 11-003 Appointment of Mayor Pro Temporeia
January 4, 2011 Council Report 2011-003
APPOINTMENT OF MAYOR PRO TEMPORE
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to appoint Council Member Brausen as the
Mayor Pro Tempore for 2011.
Overview
The Hopkins City Charter requires that a Mayor Pro Tempore be appointed each year. The Mayor Pro
Tempore acts as the presiding officer and as Acting Mayor of the Council in the absence of the Mayor.
Primary Issues to Consider
Who should serve as the Mayor Pro Tempore?
Council Member Brausen was appointed as Mayor Pro Tempore for the year 2010. Inasmuch as he had no
opportunity to exercise the official duties of Mayor Pro Tempore in 2010, staff recommends that he be
reappointed for 2011.
Alternatives
1. Appoint Council Member Brausen as Mayor Pro Tempore
2. Appoint another Council Member as Mayor Pro Tempore
Staff recommends alternative one.
