As far as your insinuation that using roll undermines credibility, I have to ask you this, "why were Council 109's choices for Negotiating Committee members not approved?"
Like I said previously, roll call is a legit means of conducting business when used judiciously. However, when used frequently as a means of forcing your will on the remainder of the MEC it's no good. Just because you (the figurative you) happen to have a large LEC, using roll call is tantamount to taking your ball and going home when you don't get your way.
As for the 109 choices.....I don't know, I'm not a member of the MEC. Although, I could speculate like many of the others around here and come up with a great conspiracy theory if you'd like?
