La Verne Residents To No Longer Vote For Mayor: Report
City officials adopted an ordinance that will move the mayor role from a directly elected position to one rotated among council members.
LA VERNE, CA — La Verne residents will no longer get a direct say in how the city chooses its mayor, according to a report from the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin.
Officials adopted an ordinance during the City Council’s Nov. 15 meeting that will turn the mayor role into an additional council seat, upping the number of members from four to five, the paper reported. The vote was 3 to 2, with Mayor Tim Hepburn and Councilmember Rick Crosby dissenting.
The mayor position will then be rotated among the council rather than have a direct election.
