MOTION/VOTE: After discussion, on motion/second by CM Chastain/Sanders to proceed with the appointment a mayor carried with CM DeLaRosa and CM Zamora voting "No." In response to inquiry on vacant seats, City Attorney Carvalho stated that a vacancy occurred at the time the existing seat was vacat ' ed by resignation or by accepting another office so that if an existing member of City Council was appointed, that person's seat would become vacant on the day of the swearing in and that would then start the 30 -day rule in terms of filling that position by appointment or by election, for the existing term. She said the law held that no more than a majority of people holding positions can be appointed, so that if Council experienced a third vacancy and it chose to appoint that position, Council would lose the ability to appoint the fourth person and the City would be forced to have an election.
