Laredo committee meeting adjourned after roll call finds no quorum

A Laredo committee meeting on Sept. 10, 2025, was adjourned shortly after roll call when officials determined only three members were present, insufficient to conduct business.

The meeting opened at about 05:45 with the pledge of allegiance, followed by roll call. During roll call, several members were named — Pancho Avril, Luis Ramirez, Victor Vasquez, Rafael Martinez, Joe Monroe, Ruben Vasan, Salvador Hernandez and Francisco Diaz — but the transcript does not clearly identify which three answered "present." A meeting participant announced, "Members of the committee, we have 3 present, so we do not have a quorum." (Transcript excerpt.)

With no quorum, one participant identified in the record as "Speaker 1, committee participant" moved to adjourn. Speaker 1 said, "I make make a motion to adjourn due to a lack of form." The motion was seconded by a member identified as Dewey. Another participant (identified in the record as "Speaker 2, committee participant") called the vote: "Those in favor? Aye. All 3 of us." The motion to adjourn carried on a recorded tally of three yes votes and no recorded opposing or abstaining votes. The transcript contains no other formal actions or substantive discussion after the roll call and adjournment motion.

Because the record does not specify which of the named members were the three present, the article does not attribute the vote to individual members by name. No future meeting date or rescheduling details were given in the transcript.

The meeting was ended before any agenda items could be considered.
