If we use this as a criteria for example amne wouldn't have been a
member of the 2007 council - also it would be discuss-worthy if Cardoe
and myself are eligible members for the 2008 council using that
criteria ... I think that criteria simply doesn't work.

In any case leaving the spot open is not an option for me either, if we
have 3 votes for $something and 3 votes against $something - what to do
then? It makes much sense to have an odd number of council members.

I therefore suggest to follow the process being used in the past -
taking a look at the next one in the election ranking and if a majority
of council member think this one doesn't fit into the current council
get developers to vote on a replacement for Jokey.
