MAYOR PRO TEM.
(A) There is created the office of Mayor Pro Tem for the City.
(B) In the event of a temporary absence, or a disability causing the Mayor of the City to
be incapacitated from the performance of his duties, but which by law does not create a vacancy
in the office of Mayor, the Council of Alderpersons shall elect one of its members to act as
Mayor Pro Tem. The Mayor Pro Tem, during the absence or disability of the Mayor, shall
perform the duties and possess all the rights and powers of the Mayor.
(C) The selection of a Mayor Pro Tem shall be made on an annual basis at the first City
Council meeting in May. The Council of Alderpersons shall vote to elect one of its members
Mayor Pro Tem. No member may be elected as Mayor Pro Tem for two consecutive years.
However, the Mayor Pro Tem shall not act as Mayor Pro Tem unless and until the Mayor is
temporarily absent or is disabled to an extent so as to incapacitate him from the performance of
his duties.
(D) In the event the Mayor fails to attend a meeting of the City Council, the Mayor Pro
Tem shall act as a temporary chairman for the meeting of the City Council, and while so serving
as temporary chairman, shall have only the power of a presiding officer and a right to vote in his
capacity as Alderperson on any ordinance, resolution, or motion.
