Resolution No. 24-002
Appointing council members to serve as mayor pro tem
Whereas Minnesota Statute section 412.121 requires cities to annually choose an acting
mayor from the council members; 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, or in case
of vacancy in the office of mayor, until a successor is appointed or elected; and
Whereas council members 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 council members 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
council member will serve as acting mayor pro tem, and if a council member is unable to or
chooses not to complete their term as mayor pro tem, the next council member in the rotation
will complete the term and continue to serve their term as scheduled; and
Whereas, the council has carefully reviewed the qualifications of all members 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 council
members are hereby appointed to serve as mayor pro tem for the City of St. Louis Park in 2024
and shall serve in that capacity until successors are appointed by the city council:
