The City Commission has established a policy of rotating the position of Vice-Mayor every four (4) months. Since 1994, the rotation has been by Commission Group number in the following sequence, Group I, II, III, IV, V, and VI. Based on this direction, the next Vice-Mayor Group is Group VI.

Typically the term for the next Vice-Mayor would be November 1, 2021 through February 28, 2021; however, because of the General Election scheduled for November 2, 2021,  and City Charter Section 2.04, the term for the next Vice-Mayor will commence November 1, 2021 and terminate on November 5, 2021, or if a Runoff Election is held the term will terminate on November 22, 2021.

A resolution will be placed on the November 5, 2021 Commission Agenda, or if a Runoff Election is held on the November 22, 2021 Commission Agenda, allowing the newly elected City Commission to elect from its membership Commissioner David Richardson, Group VI  as Vice-Mayor for a term to expire February 28, 2021.
