Roeland Park changes dates for nominating, electing council president. The Roeland Park city council on Monday evening adopted an amendment that allows the nomination and election of a council president by the first meeting in January. The proposed amendment did not include the duties of a council president, which had been a subsection in the existing ordinance. City council chose to include those duties, such as sitting in for the mayor when he or she is absent during a city council meeting, in the amendment. Councilmember Tom Madigan suggested the council revisit the ordinance in the near future because the policy entails more than how and when a council president is elected, he said.
