Individual who was appointed to fill vacancy on city commission during the temporary suspension of city commissioner brought action seeking a declaration that commissioner was ineligible for reelection to a third consecutive term. The Circuit Court entered declaratory judgment finding that city charter provision rendering a city commissioner “elected and qualified for two consecutive full terms” ineligible for reelection precluded commissioner from seeking reelection. Commissioner appealed.
The District Court of Appeal held that commissioner remained “qualified” during her suspension and thus precluded from seeking reelection.
