Polk County News Polk County Itemizer-Observer • January 11, 2017 5A Dallas council postpones leader vote By Jolene Guzman The Itemizer-Observer DALLAS — Election of a president of the Dallas City Council will wait for at least its next regular meeting. As is typical for the first meeting of the year, one of the first items of business on the agenda is electing a new council president. What isn’t typical is to have two ties and a coin flip during the voting and still not come away with a coun- cil president, but it hap- pened on Jan. 3. On Jan. 3, four of the five re-elected or newly elected councilors took the oath of office and took their seats. Councilors Jennie Rum- mell, Kelly Gabliks, Paul Tra- han and Ken Woods Jr. all were sworn in. Terry Crawford, who is newly elected, was absent from the meeting, leaving the council with an even eight members for the night. The council president is nominated and elected by members of the council and has the responsibility of run- ning meetings in the ab- sence of the mayor, per the city’s charter. The charter also states: “Whenever the mayor is un- able to perform the func- Government JOLENE GUZMAN/ Itemizer-Observer Dallas’ new city councilors were sworn in during the Jan. 3 meeting. tions of the mayor’s office, the president shall act as mayor, but shall not have the power of veto.” Three councilors were nominated for the post: Micky Garus, Ken Woods Jr., and Kelly Gabliks. On the first ballot, Garus received four votes and Woods and Gabliks received two each. Mayor Brian Dalton sug- gested a coin flip to decide whether Woods or Gabliks would continue to the sec- ond ballot. Woods won, and in the subsequent vote, Garus tal- lied votes from himself and councilors Jackie Lawson, Rummell and Trahan. In addition to himself, Woods got the votes of councilors Gabliks, Jim Fairchild and Bill Hahn.
