Disqualification of council member

Official statutory text

If, in any matter pending before the Council, a council member

is disqualified to act for a reason that would disqualify a judicial

officer from sitting in a matter, the Council may proceed to

consider the matter, if a quorum is present, or may certify to the

officer having the appointment of that member, who shall thereupon

immediately appoint a special member to sit in that case, only. If

the appointing officer makes no appointment within ten (10) days

after the mailing of the certification of disqualification to the

appointing officer, the Council shall appoint a special member.
