Council seat. However, Council did advertise the Ward II Council position on the City's website as well as in the West Life newspaper, and we interviewed all candidates that applied. With that being said, the nomination and voting process is as follows; similar to what we just did for President Pro Tem. The floor will open for nominations. This is not a vote, rather an act of Council to offer a name to be placed for consideration for the Ward II seat. Our City Charter and Rules of Council allows anyone's name to be placed for nomination to fill a spot, whether they participated in Council's interview process or not. A Councilmember may ask to be recognized and will place a name for nomination. When someone's name is placed for nomination, it does not need to be seconded, allowing for one nomination or several. Once Council no longer offers any more nominations, the floor will be closed to nominations. We will then ask the clerk to call the roll, and once a member's name is called, they will state the name of the person they wish to fill the Ward II vacancy. If a nominated person receives four votes, then that person will be appointed to the Ward II seat to fill the remainder of that term. If two people receive three votes each, then the President of Council will vote to break the tie. If no one receives four votes and there is not a tie, then we will again open the floor for nominations and Council will begin the process again until a nominee has been chosen with the majority of votes. That was a lot, right? Are there any questions from Council on this process? At this time, 1 will open the floor for members of Council to nominate an individual to fill the Ward II vacancy for the unexpired term to end on December 31, 2025. Any City Council member may nominate any person qualified for service pursuant to the Charter Article 4, Section 2. The floor is now open for nominations. Councilwoman Hemann: Mr. President, I'd like to nominate Matt Marrie, please. Council President Brossard: Are there any other nominations? Seeing no further nominations, the floor is now closed for nominations and we will do a roll call. Again, when your name is called, please state the name of the person for whom you are casting your vote. Roll call, please. Council Clerk: Ms. Hemann: Matt Marrie Ms. Gilchrist: Matt Marrie Mr. Madden: Matt Marrie Mr. Scarl: Mr. Matt Marrie Mr. Shymske: Matt Marrie Mr. Limpert: Matt Marrie 01-07-25 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 9
