It sounds like most commissioners are handling this about like they should - keeping an open mind to appointing Steve Archer to city boards.
Archer has asked to be appointed to the hospital board, planning board, and board of zoning appeals. Looks like the hospital board is already full or has plenty of applicants, but the others might not.
His experience and knowledge would be a plus, and really there is only one existing commissioner who wanted to get rid of him — Jay Warren. So perhaps enough water has gone under the bridge.
Archer's forced resignation and the severance package controversy, though, are a lot of baggage to bring back into City Hall.

Other than the severance package eliminating unemployment - money saved by the city - and buying Archer's silence against foolish commissioners, who are no longer in office, what does the severance package have to do with bringing experience and knowledge to a panel that assesses information for the commission? After all, that is all the boards do. Gather the information and make an informed recommendation to the city commission. It is up to the city commission to decide how to act on the information - for, against, or need more information.
