prevent this from occuring in the future.

Steve Van Maren felt it was the duty of the Council to leave the Chair and Vice Chair for
the next six months from members who are staying on the Council. Give the next
Council six months to get use to what is going on before you give them an opportunity to
be elected. He felt the City would be better served. He does not believe the vote should
be deferred based on an election.
