replacement scenarios<BR>>>>Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 11:43:02
-0800<BR>>>><BR>>>>My sense of the situation with John
Dickinson's seat on Council is that <BR>>>>the<BR>>>>legal
eagles that have looked at the issue find no indisputable basis
or<BR>>>>provision for replacing John, unless he is declared dead.
That would<BR>>>>easily be done if there were a body found, but
without a dead body or a<BR>>>>live one with the ability to resign
as Jack Hll did, the situation is an<BR>>>>anomaly that does not
seem to have a ready answer. There really seems to<BR>>>>be no
prescribed basis for a replacement in this situation.
One<BR>>>>possibility might be to file a declaratory judgemnt
action in court and <BR>>>>try<BR>>>>to prove that the
City can't function unless the court orders a<BR>>>>replacement.
But it is not at all clear that the City cannot
function<BR>>>>without John's presence. Dan's point about the
increased likelihoood of <BR>>>>a<BR>>>>quorum problem
without replacing the "vacant" spot might provde such
a<BR>>>>basis, but when you add in the debatable nature of that
argument, (i.e.,<BR>>>>generally business can be conducted), plus
the time and !<BR>>>> expense<BR>>>>of litigating the
issue in court, maybe the powers that be have decided<BR>>>>that it
is better to continue to just "wait and
see."<BR>>>><BR>>>>Bruce
