I was there. It got started very late, and did not last very long.
My sense was that it's stuck on the issue of Bob insisting that Council member candidates run and and elections be held. So far, I haven't seen anyone indicate they are willing to serve as a result of having 'run' and being elected. Bob seems unwilling to consider an alternative method of putting a council in place, which is disappointing. So unless there are people here who are willing to run in an election and the community is willing to cast votes, by default potential candidates and the community are electing to keep the current system of unreasonably loooong blocks.
