So, the course of action publicly agreed upon in the meeting and passed by a majority of the council was not carried out by the mayor? Did you ask if the City Attorney reviewed the sample ordinance and had an opinion on whether it would create an oath of office conflict?  That's the question I really think needs asking. The mayor also told me he was reaching out to Seattle Mayor Ed Murray for guidance  about his oath of office worries.  I'd also very much like to know the outcome of that conversation, if it has happened.
