Contrary to what Beys said, members present atWednesday's executive meeting said the formercouncil chair did not appear at all satisfied withthe board's decision not to reinstate him.

One executive board member said that uponlearning of the reinstatement denial, which wasmade by a hand vote while Beys was not in theroom, the former council chair demanded a recount.

He then insisted that those executive boardmembers who voted against him explain theirrationale.

Beys "accosted one member who voted againsthim," an executive board member said. "He becameextremely confrontational. Mike grabbed his arm,and got really intense."

The member whose arm was grabbed had to requestBeys to let go, according to a member.

Beys was then asked to leave, and reportedlystormed out of the office.

Three executive board members voted for Beys'reinstatement, while 2.5 voted against. (Co-chairsof council committees each have half a vote.) Atwo-thirds vote of the executive board is neededto reinstate a member expelled for excessiveabsences.

Beys declined to comment on the events of lastnight's meeting
