Well said, Echo. :)

To reiterate, existing admins and/or bureaucrats have their rights removed only if they've been inactive for at least one year.

If/when you get support for the demotion of the existing admin, use the form at Special:Contact to request the removal of the admin's rights, and be sure to include a link to the discussion where support was given.
