body
Background:
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 36801, City Council shall, at the meeting at which the declaration of the election results for a General Municipal Election is made, choose one of its members as Vice Mayor.
Historically, in the City of Manteca, the newly elected Councilmember receiving the highest number of votes will be appointed as Vice Mayor by the Mayor. The position is held until the following December, at which time the position will rotate to the Councilmember receiving the second highest number of votes in his/her election, by appointment of the Mayor. However, the City of Manteca City Council at its Election of 2024 completed the districting process and can now also chose to go by district order. These options allow for each member of Council to fill the seat of Vice Mayor once during their four-year term.
The Elections and Government Code are silent as to the process to be followed for selection of the Vice Mayor.
