When previous resolutions appointing certain councillors -as sub-cqmi-mittccs were rescinded, and a resolution unanimously carried appointing all the councillors, excepting the Mayor, as a committee of the Council delegating all its powers and duties to thorn. This practically means that the Council ha.s power to ignore the Mayor in future.
