City Council Policy No. 200-4 provides direction regarding the selection of the Mayor and Mayor
Pro Tem for the City Council. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem are selected annually by the City
Council to serve a one year term. The selection of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem is to occur
during the first Regular City Council meeting in December each year or, if in an election year, the

Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lake Elsinore, the Lake Elsinore
Recreation Authority, the Lake Elsinore Public Financing Authority, the Lake Elsinore Public
Facility Financing Authority, and the Lake Elsinore Parking Authority.

A Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem will be selected to serve for 2023. The procedural format for the
selection of the Mayor/Chair and Mayor Pro Tem/Vice-Chair is for the current Mayor/Chair to yield
the chair to the City Clerk/Secretary who will open the floor to nominations. Upon closing the
nominations and taking a vote, the City Clerk/ Secretary will declare the Council Member/Agency
Member selected to serve as Mayor/Chair by majority vote. The newly selected Mayor/Chair will
assume the chair and will preside over the selection of a Mayor Pro Tem/Vice-Chair.
