Juracek Date: May 24, 2018 Subject: Designated President/Mayor Pro Tem Our Village Code requires us each year to elect one of the Village Trustees to serve as President/Mayor Pro Tem. This agenda item appears under the Mayor's Report for the June 5th Village Board Meeting. (Attached is the Ordinance #5423, which governs the Designated President/Mayor Pro Tem election — qualifications and procedures. I will be nominating Trustee William Grossi to be President/Mayor Pro Tem. I have confirmed with Trustee Grossi his willingness and availability to serve. The ordinance outlines how other nominations can be made by trustees. The term begins July 1, 2018 and continues to June 30, 2019. As you know, Trustee Paul Hoefert has served as Mayor Pro Tem this past year. For your convenience, I've outlined the parliamentary procedure I will follow. 1) I will nominate Trustee Grossi. It will need a second. 2) Then I will take other nominations. Each nomination must receive seconds. 3) When all nominations have been made, a motion should be made to close nominations. This requires a second and a majority of the vote of trustees at the meeting. 4) We will discuss each nomination and his/her qualifications. We may adjourn into closed session if deemed necessary. A motion, second and vote must be done to go into closed session for the purpose of personnel. The discussion and procedures will follow requirements governing closed sessions. 5) Final vote on each nomination must be done in open session. 6) At the close of discussion, the Village Clerk will call the vote on each nominated candidate in the order in which the nominations were made and seconded. Abstentions shall be counted as a "no" vote. Balloting shall continue until one of the candidates receives four affirmative votes of the President and Trustees voting jointly. 7) If the motions fail, and we are unable to select a Mayor Pro Tem with this procedure, you must nominate and elect the Mayor Pro Tem at the beginning of each Board or COW meeting. In case emergencies arise between meetings when we have no Mayor Pro Tem, you trustees would have to elect one at a special meeting. 8) In case Trustee Grossi is away at the same time that I am gone, you trustees also will have to convene and elect the Mayor Pro Tem for the meeting. I would like to thank Trustee Hoefert for his willingness to serve this past year as Mayor Pro Tem. Designating a President/Mayor Pro Tem is critical to the functioning of the Village of Mount Prospect should something happen to a sitting Mayor, or should she be absent from the Village. See below the list of Mayors Pro Tem and the dates served. Thank you in advance for your help in this always -difficult process.
