Alternatives ATTACHMENTS: Mayor Pro Tem.2021.pdf ORDINANCE 5423.pdf 1 Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Board of Trustees Village Manager Michael Cassady Village Clerk Karen Agoranos Village Attorney Lance Malina From: Mayor Paul Wm. Hoefert Date: June 1, 2021 Subject: Designated President/Mayor Pro Tem Village Code requires the Village Board 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 15 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 Colleen Saccotelli to be President/Mayor Pro Tem. I have confirmed with Trustee Saccotelli her willingness and availability to serve. The ordinance outlines how other nominations can be made by trustees. The term begins July 1, 2021 and continues to June 30, 2022. For convenience, the parliamentary procedure to appoint a President/Mayor Pro Tem is outlined below: 1) 1 will nominate Trustee Saccotelli. 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) The Village Board 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. 2 7) If the motions fail, and the Village Board is unable to select a President/Mayor Pro Tem with this procedure, you must nominate and elect the Mayor Pro Tem at the beginning of each Board or Committee of the Whole meeting. In case emergencies arise between meetings when the Mayor is absent and we have no President/Mayor Pro Tem, the trustees would have to elect one at a special meeting. 8) In case Trustee Saccotelli is away at the same time that I am gone, trustees will also have to convene and elect the Mayor Pro Tem for the meeting. I would like to thank former Trustee Zadel for his willingness to serve this past year as President/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 be absent from the Village. See the list below of Presidents/Mayors Pro Tem and the dates served. Thank you in advance for your help in this always -difficult process. Feel free to contact me if you have comments or questions.
