One question I have. With the sudden rash of defections [[we may be soon down a full third) does the city council continue on with empty seats, or would there be some form of appointments of interim council members?

I vote for the empty seats. We really only need about 5 council people. Also it would be even better if they were part-timers

Under the new City Charter, City Council vacancies are supposed to be filled by appointment through a 2/3 vote of the remaining councilmembers.
