Mayor emergency powers (Section 18)
Summary
Members want more flexibility on when the mayor pro tem is appointed so elections and runoffs don't disrupt it, and Scray is uneasy that a mayor can declare an emergency by proclamation without a vote. Changing the proclamation to an ordinance or resolution would require commission approval.
