What do you guys think is the most appropriate action if a council member steps down before an election is held? After we get some solid ideas, we can discuss the details about, "what if someone steps down 1 week before elections, etc.." Happens in politics a lot, appointments-- so their majority or ideology/legacy remains.
We need to get this done before the next council, please.
My general thoughts, if someone steps down simply have the council appoint.
Reason, we generally take a couple of weeks with elections anyway-- too long for a vacant seat.
I have absolutely no objections though if a better idea is proposed to streamline the process.
I will put this up for a vote in the coming week, so let's get this done. =)
How many votes can a council member miss or not participate in before action can be taken by his/her colleagues for immediate removal?
Thoughts? Brief and to the point please. I'll be putting this up for a vote in the coming week. Stay silent and that will be on you-- don't complain later on, thanks!
