Gina Bonanno is Livermore’s new vice mayor, following her appointment to the role by Mayor Bob Woerner during Monday night’s regular City Council meeting.
Bonanno is replacing Trish Munro, who will now serve as a regular council member.
Each year the mayor appoints a council member to serve as vice mayor. In the absence of the mayor, the vice mayor assumes the mayor’s duties and responsibilities for conducting City Council meetings, according to city staff’s agenda report.
In even-numbered years, the vice mayor is selected at the City Council meeting where election results are certified. In odd-numbered years, the vice mayor is appointed in December.
Bonanno was first appointed to the City Council in January, filling the regular council seat vacated by Woerner upon his ascension to mayor.
Before joining the council, Bonanno was previously a scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. She also served as chair of the City Asset Management Program Committee and she was a member of the Livermore Planning Commission since 2015. She was in her second term on the planning commission before stepping away to join the council.
During Monday night’s meeting, Bonanno said it is “an honor” to fill the role of vice mayor for the next year.
Before appointing Bonanno, Woerner presented a plaque to Munro, recognizing and thanking her for her service as vice mayor.
Monday marked the City Council’s last regular meeting of the year. The next regular council meeting is set for Jan. 10 at 7 p.m.
