MARANA ORDINANCE N0.2009.10
RELATING TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL; AMENDING TOWN CODE SECTION 2-3-1 ("VICE
MAYOR") TO EXPAND THE TIME TO CHOOSE A VICE MAYOR; AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY
WHEREAS Town Code Section 2-3-1 ("Vice Mayor") requires the Vice Mayorto be chosen
at the first meeting after Council Members' election and qualification, "but in any event within 20
days after the date of general election... "; and
WHEREAS expanding the period for choosing a Vice Mayor to the ensuing June 30, rather
than 20 days, after the general election would facilitate selection of the Vice Mayor on a normal
Tuesday meeting, would make it more likely for all Council Members to participate in the selection,
and would make it less likely for the Council to be required to set a special meeting to meet the re-
quirements of the Town Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Town Council of the Town of
Marana that the first sentence of Marana Town Code Section 2-3-1("Vice Mayor") is hereby revised
to read as follows, with new language shown with double underlining and deleted language shown
with strips:
n+ +"° firc•+ m°e~+inn -.®fter their election and qualification, but in any event not later
than June 30 following ~~~'+"~^ '^ ~'°~~° °~°~ the date of the general election, the
council members shall choose a vice mayor from among their number by majority
vote. [Remainder of section is unchanged.]
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDAINED that it is necessary for the preservation of the peace,
health and safety of the Town of Marana that this ordinance become immediately effective, so an
emergency is hereby declared to exist and this ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its pas-
sage and adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Mayor and Council of the Town of Marana, Arizona,
