He stated that he wanted <br />to remain on the Board because they were already short a member on the Board. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that he does not see writing a letter as grounds for dismissal. He <br />stated that this feels very politically charged, but agrees that there has been an attendance <br />violation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that his decision tonight has nothing to do with what he will call a <br />"bogus" complaint made by Mr. Sibilski earlier this evening. <br /> <br />Mike Max, Chair of the EPB, stated that to address the attendance issue, Mr. Sibilski did try to <br />attend meetings by phone when he was out of town, but he was advised not to do. <br /> <br />City Council / April 14, 2009 <br />Page 13 of17 <br />
