On the first Monday of December of each odd-numbered year, the Council shall elect from its own members a President of Council, who shall serve at the pleasure of Council and until a successor is elected by Council. The President of Council shall preside at all regular and special meetings of the Council and shall perform such other duties as provided by this Charter or by ordinance, resolution or motion passed by the Council. While presiding over special or regular meetings of the Council, the President of Council may vote upon all matters coming before the Council, but in no event shall the President of Council, in his dual capacity as Council member and presiding officer, cast more than one vote on any action.
(Amended 11-3-81)
(Editor’s Note: Because of the 2006 amendment to Charter Section 23.01 (Terms of Elected Officials), the first sentence of Section 3.05 should be deemed to mean that at the first meeting of Council in each even numbered year, the Council shall elect from its own members a President of Council, who shall serve at the pleasure of Council and until a successor is elected by Council. See Section 23.01)
