A councilwoman’s effort to remove the City Council president with a vote of no confidence failed Monday night.
For the second time in as many meetings, Councilwoman Karen Zalewski-Wildzunas again sought to have President John Mootooveren removed from his position. But in the end, the 3-2 vote meant the president keeps his job.
The last time Zalewski-Wildzunas tried to remove the president on April 12, the panel’s presiding official did not act.
The same matter two weeks ago ended in a 3-2 vote in which Zalewski-Wildzunas, Councilwoman Carmel Patrick and Councilman John Polimeni voted yes, while Mootooveren and Councilwoman Marion Porterfield voted no.
