Can a termed-out former Richmond mayor temporarily serve as a city’s mayor if the current one can’t fulfill their duties?
But the issue at hand emerged in January, when she was also appointed by her peers to serve a one-year term as vice mayor, who is assigned to fill in whenever the elected mayor is absent, sick or dies. Written by Daniel Butt — Tom Butt’s son, who also acts as his attorney — the lawsuit argues that if McLaughlin is found to have violated the city charter, Richmond should void any actions she took March 7 and remove her appointment as vice mayor, in an effort to prohibit her from ever assuming the role in the future.
While then-Councilmember Bates was appointed mayor twice by his colleagues — in 1971 and 1976 — each appointment was only a two-year stint. It wasn’t until 1981 that the title of mayor became an elected, four-year position, which was limited to two four-year terms, according to the city charter.
