Fort Myers City Council's Monday, Oct. 19 meeting ended early when council members Liston Bochette, Fred Burson and Darla Bonk left during public comment, leaving the board without a quorum. Several speakers were urging Mayor Kevin Anderson to resign over sexual misconduct allegations, which he has denied; a Florida Department of Law Enforcement review closed without criminal charges. The city said its charter requires at least four members to conduct business, so the mayor adjourned the meeting.
