City Council meeting adjourns due to lack of quorum

The Historic District/Landmark Board meeting in Laredo, Texas, on June 12, 2025, was abruptly halted due to a lack of quorum. With several members absent, including Janine Arvace, Christina Davila Villareal, and Francisco Paco Barrientos, the board could not proceed with its agenda.

Chairperson Sara Garza confirmed the absence of key members and proposed a brief wait of 15 minutes in hopes of achieving quorum. However, after the wait, it was clear that the meeting would not continue. The board decided to reschedule the meeting for Wednesday, June 25, at 12:00 PM in the same chambers, ensuring that all members would be informed of any changes.

This meeting's cancellation highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining full participation in local governance, which is crucial for addressing the preservation of Laredo's historic districts. The board's next meeting will be pivotal in moving forward with discussions on landmark preservation and community engagement.
