Here is a recording from Richmond City Council's Informal Session, which is not televised, from Jan. 26, 2009. This is the conversation that occurred to describe the process Council would use to select their ninth member, as a result of Delores McQuinn winning the Virginia House of Delegates seat recently vacated by now-serving Mayor Dwight Jones. Two Council members, Mr. Hilbert & Mr. Samuels, favored an open process and the CLOSE DOOR process was supported by Mr. Bruce Tyler, Mrs. Kathy Graziano, Mr. Marty Jewell, Mrs. Ellen Robertson, Ms. Reva Trammell, and Mr. Doug Conner
