§ 2.04. Election of Vice-Mayor and meetings.

The City Commission shall, at its first meeting after each general election (or at its first meeting after the runoff election, if a runoff election is held), initially elect from its membership a Vice-Mayor who, during the absence or disability of the Mayor, shall perform the duties of Mayor. In the absence or disability of both the Mayor and Vice-Mayor, the said duty shall be performed by another member appointed by the Commission.

The City Commission shall meet at such times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution. The Mayor, or the City Manager, may call special meetings of the Commission upon at least twenty-four (24) hours written notice to each member, served personally, or left at his usual place of abode; provided, however, that the requirement of such written notice may be waived at a special meeting by the unanimous vote of the Commission. In addition, special meetings of the City Commission may be called by a majority of the members of the Commission upon written notice to the City Clerk and in accordance with the procedures set forth in a resolution of the City Commission.

No member of the City Commission shall, during the time for which he/she was elected, be appointed or elected to any City office that has been created or the emoluments thereof shall have been increased during such time.
