The Reno City Council, during its Monday, May 12 meeting, elected Place 1 council member Kevin Vandenberg to serve as mayor pro tem following a failed nomination for Place 2 council member Jennifer Vogle.

Council members later discussed whether to continue the Deputy Mayor Pro Tem position, which has held by Place 4 council member Ed Braun.

After consulting with City Attorney Debra Mergel, council members noted the role is not included in the city’s statutes. Vogle entered a motion to reappoint Braun as deputy mayor pro tem, but the motion failed.
