PETITION TO RECALL COUNCIL MEMBER DAMIEN GILLIAMS
This petition is being circulated for the purpose of recalling Damien Gilliams, Council Member
for the City of Sebastian, pursuant to section 100.361 — Municipal Recall, Florida Statutes, and
per section 2.12 of the City of Sebastian Charter. We, the electors of the City of Sebastian, wish
to recall Council Member Damien Gilliams based on Malfeasance (100.361(2) (c) (1)). Council
Member Damien Gilliams, on Wednesday, April 22, 2020, conducted a "City Council Meeting,"
in secret, without public notice, public input, and the knowledge of the entire City Council or
Charter Officers such as the City Manager, City Attorney, or City Clerk. Council Member
Damien Gilliams through his signature, read and affirmed he understood the City Charter for the
City of Sebastian, as well as, section 286.011 — Public meetings and records, Florida Statutes.
Additionally, Council Member Damien Gilliams took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the
State of Florida. Therefore, we feel he is unfit to continue as Council Member and wish to recall
his elected position.
