Executive Summary
Section 2-5(a) of the Town Charter provides that a Mayor Pro Tem shall be elected to a two-year term by a majority vote of the entire Council at the organizational meeting of the new Town Council. Resolution 2014-14 was adopted in March 2014 to approve the procedure to elect and Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. Since that time, the voters approved a Mayor at large. Therefore, a Resolution is required to approve a procedure to elect a Mayor Pro Tem only.
The current process is attached. Staff felt Council should approve this procedure prior to electing the Mayor Pro Tem to ensure there is agreement on this process.
If Council wishes to make any changes to the current policy, those changes can be made by motion. If amended, the motion would adopt the procedure as amended.

OR
“I move to approve the Resolution Adopting a Procedure for Election of the Mayor Pro Tem at the Post Election Organizational Meeting of the Castle Rock Town Council, as amended.”
