Council appoints Steve as mayor and names mayor pro tem after executive session

After recessing to an executive session to discuss personnel matters under Texas Government Code Section 551.074, the council returned to open session and took votes on leadership appointments.

Appointment of mayor: A councilmember moved to approve the appointment of Steve as mayor; a second was called and the motion passed on a council vote recorded in the open session. The motion language in the transcript was recorded as "I move approval of the appointment of Steve as mayor." The transcript records the motion carried.

Appointment of mayor pro tem: The council then moved and seconded a separate appointment for mayor pro tem; the motion carried as recorded in open session.

The transcript does not include a roll-call vote by named member for these appointments in properly formatted votes but shows motions, seconds and the mayoral appointment outcome in the public minutes. Staff noted the procedural steps and the meeting was adjourned following those actions.
