**THIS IS PETITION 1 OF 2, THERE IS ALSO A 2ND PETITION TO BE SIGNED***
PETITION FOR REMOVAL/RESIGNATION OF MUNFORD CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER
WE, THE REGISTERED VOTERS OF MUNFORD, AL ARE ASKING FOR THE REMOVAL
OR RESIGNATION OF TOWN COUNCIL MEMBER TIM LIPHAM. WE HAVE FORMED THIS
PETITION TO START HOLDING OUR TOWN COUNCIL BY THE STANDARDS THAT ARE
OUTLINED BY ALABAMA LAW, WHICH WILL ALSO SERVE FOR THE PURPOSE THAT ANY
CURRENT AND FUTURE MAYORAL OR COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL ALSO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE BY THE STANDARDS OUTLINED BY ALABAMA LAW AND THAT ONLY THE
ABLE AND QUALIFIED SHOULD RUN AND HOLD THE POSITIONS FOR SERVING OUR
COMMUNITY.
WE ARE ASKING FOR THE REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION OF TIM LIPHAM, ON THE
BASIS THAT HE HAS NOT UPHELD HIS END OF HOLDING THE POSITION OF CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER, BY NOT ATTENDING NECESSARY TRAINING AND EXECUTIVE MEETINGS
WHICH IS VITAL IN ORDER FOR HIM TO PERFORM THE ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS OF THE
POSITION HE HOLDS. TIM LIPHAM HAS MISSED 4 YEARS OF TRAINING AND 4 YEARS OF
EXECUTIVE MEETINGS UNDER THE MAYOR JO ANN FAMBROUGH. THE MAYOR HAS
REFUSED TO HOLD TIM LIPHAM ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT PERFORMING HIS ESSENTIAL
ROLES AND HAS NOT HELD HIM ACCOUNTABLE WHICH IS OUTLINED IN SECTION
11-40-25, CODE OF ALABAMA 1975, WHICH STATES "THAT ANY MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBER
OR COMMISSION MEMBER, ELECTED OR APPOINTED TO MUNICIPAL OFFICE WHOSE
PRESENCE AT COUNCIL MEETINGS OR COMMISSION MEETINGS IS COUNTED TOWARDS
ESTABLISHING A QUORUM WHO MISSES ALL REGULAR AND SPECIAL CALLED COUNCIL OR
COMMISSION MEETINGS FOR 90 CONSECUTIVE DAYS, BEGINNING ON THE DATE OF ANY
ABSENCE, SHALL BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE BY OPERATION OF LAW."
WE ARE ASKING FOR OUR MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO TAKE THIS
INTO ACCOUNT AND ADDRESS THIS MATTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW AND BY THE
OATH EACH ELECTED OFFICIAL TOOK TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS PAST TIME FOR
OUR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IN THE POSITIONS THEY
HOLD. THE REGISTERED VOTERS OF MUNFORD, AL HAVE APPLIED THEIR SIGNATURES
AND ADDRESSES FOR THOSE IN FAVOR OF WHAT IS SET-FORTH AND OUTLINED IN THIS
PETITION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE NEED TO START HOLDING OUR TOWN COUNCIL TO A HIGHER STANDARD. THEY HAVE TRIED TO SHUT UP THEIR COMMUNITY BY UNDERHANDED MEASURES. IF THEY WILL NOT DO WHAT IS REQUIRED BY ALABAMA LAW TO HOLD THEIR POSITIONS, THEY NEED TO GO AND THE MAYOR NEEDS TO STOP COVERING IT UP. IF YOU WANT MORE FOR YOUR KIDS AND YOUR TOWN, YOU'LL SIGN THIS PETITION.
