Resolution appointing councilmembers to
the office of mayor pro tem for the year 2021
Whereas, Minnesota State Statute Section 412.121 requires cities to choose each year
an acting mayor from the councilmembers; and
Whereas, St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter Section 2.06 states the acting mayor (mayor
pro tem) shall perform the duties of mayor in case of the mayor’s disability, absence from the
city, or in case of vacancy in the office of mayor until a successor is appointed and qualified; and
Whereas, councilmembers appointed as mayor pro tem serve a four-month term
beginning in January of each year, with the appointments made on a rotating basis based upon
seniority, or for councilmembers elected at the same time, seniority is based on alphabetical
order of last name; and
Whereas, in the absence of the mayor and mayor pro tem, the most senior available
councilmember will serve as acting mayor pro tem, and in the event that a councilmember is
unable to or chooses not to complete his or her term as mayor pro tem, the next council
member in the rotation will complete the term and continue to serve his or her term as
scheduled; and
Whereas, the council has carefully reviewed the qualifications of all councilmembers
and has considered the desires of the residents and the welfare of the city as a whole,
Now therefore be it resolved by the St. Louis Park City Council that the following
councilmembers are hereby appointed to the position of mayor pro tem of the City of St. Louis Park
and shall serve in that capacity until duly-elected successors are appointed by the city council:
