The overview
Clouser, who was elected to council’s At-Large Position 2 in December 2020, will be taking over for District E council member Floyd Emery. Emery has served as mayor pro tem since last December.
According to the city’s charter, council members are required to appoint a mayor pro tem to serve a one-year term each December. Mayor pro tems are tasked with serving as mayor when the mayor is either absent or unable to serve.
What they’re saying
Clouser thanked Emery for his time spent as mayor pro tem.
“It has been an honor being next to you, helping you work on all your stuff over here,” Clouser said. “We need your knowledge, and we have needed it, so I appreciate you stepping up in the mayor's absence.”
Emery said he appreciated his time as mayor pro tem and was looking forward to watching Clouser serve in the role.
“It’s really been an honor and privilege to fulfill the obligations of mayor pro tem for this last year,” Emery said.
What’s next
Clouser will serve as mayor pro tem until next December, when council members will vote to appoint a new member to take over the role.
