Oklahoma: Norman City Charter Review considering recall changes including dealing with city council quorum issue

A Norman City Charter Review Commission is looking into changes in the recall following the failure of the effort against city council members. The commission is concerned with the problem of a recall depriving a City Council of a quorum, which stops all business from taking place. 

The Commission is considering rules that would allow the remaining councilors to vote as a whole if a quorum is removed by recall. They also want recalls tied to the next election dates, increase the timeframe for petition review (from 30 to 90 days for mayor, 60 days if there are multiple petitions) and a six month grace period at the end of the term.
