<br />(JWF 11/23/04) <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. NS-2672 <br /> <br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING SECTIONS 2- <br />101.1 THROUGH 2-101.6 OF THE SANTA ANA <br />MUNICIPAL CODE REVISING THE PROVISIONS <br />FOR ACTING MAYOR PRO TEM, AND <br />CHANGING THE TITLE TO DEPUTY MAYOR <br />PRO TEM. <br /> <br />Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br /> <br />A. Because of the great demands upon the Mayor and the Mayor Pro <br />Tern for appearances at community functions, meetings with other <br />State, regional and local governmental agencies, and other ceremonial <br />activities requiring attendance of the Mayor, it becomes necessary that <br />there be a member of the Council authorized to act in their stead. <br /> <br />B. Existing procedures in the Municipal Code for appointment of an acting <br />mayor pro tern have proven to be burdensome and ineffective. <br /> <br />C. Smooth and effective functioning of the City Council is best served if <br />there is a standing appointment of a Deputy Mayor Pro Tern, <br />empowered to act in the stead of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern. <br /> <br />Section 2. Sections 2-101.1 through 2-101.6 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />are hereby amended to revise the process of selection of the acting mayor pro tern and <br />revise the title to be deputy mayor pro tern, such that they read as follows: <br /> <br />Sec. 2-101.1. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem--Election. <br /> <br />In the first meeting of the city council following any general election, the city <br />council may elect a deputy mayor pro tern, who shall act in the stead of the <br />mayor at public functions and events when neither the mayor nor the mayor pro <br />tern are able to attend to such function. <br /> <br />DA~ F~m~ ~~t) <br />~\ <br />~Q\ ~<c<.~, <br /> <br />CLER'¡( OF THE COUNCfL <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Ordinance No. NS- <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
