I'm not sure on the normal course of this sort of thing (can council fire the manager, or is that a mayoral decision, etc?)

When was the last time a Resident and a Councillor sued the City because they didn't like what was being done.
A motion should be put forth and voted on by Council, not wasting taxpayer dollars suing the City Manager to get a Court Order to compel them to do something. The Mayor is one vote. The City Manager serves at the pleasure of Mayor and Council.
