Owensby almost stroked out last night during the city council meeting. After the swearing in and seating of the new council (which looked suspiciously like the "old" council), a motion was made for Councilperson Cuminale to be made Mayor Pro-Tem.
Now, let's step back a few paces. Dills and Jones were both absent from the meeting. This meant that it was pretty likely that Eedie would be elected.
First, Owensby tried to put it off until a full council was elected. However, city ordinance does state that it should happen at the first meeting after election results are certified (SECTION 110.240 of Overland City Ordinances).
Then, after the vote Owensby tried to proclaim 5 votes were needed. Well, since we all pretty much know the rules from the turmoil during the Purzner era--everyone knew that the 5 votes applied to ordinances. Appointing/electing a Mayor Pro-Tem is done by resolution, which by RROR, only requires the vote of the majority of those present.

"OOOOHHHHHH NOOOOO, Edie is Mayor Pro Temp! I'm so mad my wig adhesive is starting to sizzle.", Coach Blowensme.
Kenny is king of the non-issue, I'll give him that one.
How value added really is Owensbey? I'm glad there is a change in the Mayor ProThem position it should be rotated amongst the council.
Now how about them rats
