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

The council president is
nominated and elected by
members of the council and

city’s charter.
The charter also states:

able to perform the func-

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.
The council decided to
