The Green City Council held its annual organization meeting on January 6, 2025, to elect new officers and adopt council rules for the year. The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call that confirmed the attendance of all council members except for one.
Mayor CJ Mager opened the meeting, explaining that this gathering is unique as it is the only meeting each year led by the mayor. He noted the necessity of electing officers to facilitate the council's regular business. The mayor expressed gratitude to the previous year's leadership, acknowledging the smooth operation of meetings under President CJ Mager and Vice President Jeff Noble.
The first order of business was the election of the council president for 2025. Jeff Noble was nominated and seconded without any additional nominations. A roll call vote confirmed his election, with all present members voting in favor. The mayor then transferred the gavel to President Noble, who took over the meeting.
Next, President Noble opened nominations for the vice president of council. Justin Spade was nominated and seconded, with no further nominations. A roll call vote resulted in unanimous support for Spade's election as vice president.
The council then moved to adopt the council rules for 2025. President Noble proposed the adoption of the previously amended rules from February 13, 2024. The motion received a second and was approved unanimously after a brief discussion.
With no further agenda items, the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was also passed unanimously. The next council meeting is scheduled for January 14, 2025. The meeting highlighted a smooth transition in leadership and reaffirmed the council's commitment to its established procedures for the upcoming year.
