RESOLUTION 18-082
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, AMENDING THE HOMER CITY COUNCIL OPERATING MANUAL TO CLARIFY THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE MAYOR PRO TEMPORE.
Whereas, the City Council of Homer, Alaska elects a Mayor Pro Tempore to act as Mayor in the absence of the Mayor; and
Whereas, the City Council Operating Manual and Homer City Code 2.08.080 describes the election and role of the Mayor Pro Tempore; and
Whereas, language in the 2018 City Council Operating Manual is conflicting and vague regarding the election and role of the Mayor Pro Tempore; and
Whereas, it is in the interest of the City of Homer to include clear language regarding the election and role of the Mayor Pro Tempore in the Homer City Council Operating Manual.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Homer, Alaska, amends the Homer City Council Operating Manual on page 4 under Mayor Pro Tem as follows:

The Mayor Pro tem shall, in the absence of the Mayor, act as Mayor of the City of Homer as though they themselves had taken the Oath of Office of Mayor with all duties, responsibilities and power of the Office of the Mayor for the City of Homer.
