1. “"The filing of the suit is significant only because it represents Porter's first affirmative act contrary to his otherwise manifested intent to resign. In other words, we do not hold that his suit is barred as untimely filed; rather we hold that his five and one-half month acquiescence in the council's acceptance of his apparent resignation (which acquiescence remained unbroken until the filing of this suit), in view of the absence of any suggestion that the council's acceptance and reliance were unreasonable, estops him from now asserting that he had not resigned. . . ."
