Ned, |

I understand your point, but the rule is that the remaining council |
| 34 |
members can opt to select the next in line or to open an election for |
| 35 |
the vacant spot. So going down the line isn't automatic. |
| 36 |
Perhaps we should also add a rule that if 50% (other percentage?) of the |
| 37 |
original council is replaced, we need to have a new election. |
