ONTARIO
In response to the public comments made by members of the community in which allegations were directed at Ontario City Council President Freddy Rodriguez at the councilâs March 4 study session, the council heard from Ontario City Attorney Larry Sullivan at its most recent meeting on Tuesday night. He outlined the few instances in which a member of the City Council can be removed from their position.
Sullivan opened by saying that âthe question posed to himâ pertained to what kind of authority the City Council has in regulating the conduct of a member of the council.
Sullivan noted that because city councilors are elected officials the options for removing them âare very few.â He went on to say, âas a matter of fact, theyâre non-existent, except in a very few cases.â
