RIGGS: Your Honor, obviously, the majority <br />of the discussion here centers on the petition that <br />the city council decided to submit via the mayor's <br />signature regarding the actions of Mr. Amundsen and <br />the current status of the charter commission and <br />issues that arose particularly from a more recent <br />meeting on May 21, 2019. The biggest concern that <br />the city council has and has had for many years has <br />been the inability of the charter commission to keep <br />members on the commission. It's taken many years to <br />get commission members and get up to a full <br />complement of the commission with all seats filled. <br />Nine members at this point in time. And again, I <br />won't go and belabor it, but the commission has <br />reduced from fifteen to eleven to nine, where it is <br />right now. We have one vacancy, so there are eight <br />members present on the charter commission. <br />THE COURT: And you would agree that the <br />charter commission under its bylaws can conduct <br />business with fewer than a full complement of <br />members? <br />MR. RIGGS: It can conduct business, that is <br />correct, to a degree. There are certain things I <br />don't agree that it can do. But yes. <br />
