City of Corona council elects Jackie Casillas as mayor and 'West Speak' as vice mayor
The City of Corona held a special reorganization meeting in which the council conducted nominations and votes for its leadership for the coming year. Under the city’s municipal code, the presumptive practice is for the current vice mayor to be nominated as mayor absent an alternative motion. The motion to elect Vice Mayor Jackie Casillas as mayor was moved and seconded on the floor; after an oral vote the city clerk announced Casillas had "received the majority of a votes and is elected to serve as mayor." The clerk did not read a roll-call tally of individual votes in the meeting record.

Later in the meeting the council opened nominations for vice mayor. A councilmember nominated "the honorable West Speak" to be the next vice mayor; the nomination was seconded. The clerk called for ayes and noes and announced that Vice Mayor "Speak" had received a majority and was elected to serve as vice mayor. The transcript contains inconsistent renderings of the vice mayor’s name (see audit). Neither motion in the record included a detailed roll-call vote or a published mover/second name beyond on-the-floor responses.

The meeting minutes and public record should be consulted for the official vote tally, any written motions, and formal resolutions or code citations. The clerk read the applicable municipal code section governing the process during the meeting; the council did not adopt new ordinances as part of this reorganization.
