Ah, yes. Looking into the legal basis for Tindell's prompt dismissal makes more sense than scouring our local history for parallels. Sorry I didn't think to double-check the charter text lying on my desk...

So ditching Tindell from the dias was the foreseeable consequence of appointing him to another office and we're back to my original (if originally garbled) question: What motivation existed for *not* moving the County Clerk appointment to the end of the agenda? I think we know.
