I am not aware of the discussion Amr refers to providing eligibility for Council chair positions to only sitting councilors. The language we've adopted over time had always been carefully crafted to include incoming councilors for chair positions in fairness
to all councilors.<br><br>
Why would they not be eligible on a first round of elections and then become eligible on a subsequent round. Where councilors from any of the two houses feel inclined to support an incoming councilors bid as chairman, then such support should be tested via
the election.<br><br>
Secondly the proposal that only sitting councils be eligible for election as chairman would require a by-law change from what presently obtains.<br><br>
Lawrence.</div></div><div dir="ltr"><hr><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">From:
