During the first council meeting in July, the council elects one member to serve as president of the council and one member as vice-president, both of whom serve at the will and pleasure of the council.

The president presides at all council meetings. In the event of the president’s absence or disability, the vice-president acts as president. In the event of the absence of both the president and vice-president, a presiding officer will be designated by a majority vote of council members present to serve during such meetings. All council members, including the president, shall have the right to vote at all times, even when he/she is presiding.
