7. Former Vice Mayor Issue

Issue:

Executive Order of the Governor 19-81 has suspended Acting Mayor Rowe from office. He is prohibited from performing any official act, duty, or function of public office. As of the time of placing this matter on the agenda no resignation from office has been received. Attached is a copy of Section 2.03 of the City Charter. As set forth in Section 2.03 (a) a vacancy in the office can be through resignation or forfeiture of office. Forfeiture reasons and procedure are set forth in Section 2.03 (b). If Council desires to proceed with Forfeiture then it would require a majority vote of the City Council. If the vote carries Councilman Rowe would receive written notification of Councils intention. Councilman Rowe would then have seven days to provide the Clerk with a written request for a hearing before the Council tor the purpose of providing evidence in opposition to the Council's intended action of Forfeiture. The Council, at a subsequent meeting, would determine if the evidence presented by Councilman Rowe is sufficient to overcome the identified reason for the forfeiture of office. If not then Council would declare the seat forfeited. Councilman Rowe may appeal that decision to Circuit Court. If forfeiture occurs the seat would be filled temporarily by appointment and another special election for the remainder of the term would be held. Attached are the Executive Order and public documents.

Action:

City Council action as deemed appropriate.
