Tuesday’s regular meeting of the Santa Clarita City Council at 6 p.m. will be preceded by the annual reorganization meeting at 5 p.m.

At that time, Councilwoman Marsha McLean, the current mayor pro-tem (vice mayor) is expected to be named mayor. The five-person council designates one of its members to serve as “mayor” each year. That person chairs the council meetings and has no more and no less voting authority than the other four council members.

The council will also name a new mayor pro-tem, who would likely step into the mayor’s position 12 months from now.

The Valencia High School Chamber Choir will perform at the reorganization meeting.
