Crown Point City Board of Zoning Appeals meeting postponed to May 15 after lack of quorum
Summary
The April 28, 2025, Board of Zoning Appeals meeting in Crown Point City was postponed to a special meeting on May 15 at 5:30 p.m. because the board did not meet the statutory 50% physical-presence quorum; adjacent property owners will receive certified-mail notices and the agenda will remain the same.
The Crown Point City Board of Zoning Appeals meeting scheduled for April 28, 2025, was postponed to a special meeting on May 15, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. after the board failed to meet the statutory requirement that at least 50% of members be physically present, officials said.
Legal counsel told attendees, “This meeting cannot be held tonight because we don't meet the 50% of board members present, provision that's under the law,” citing the Open Door Law and the statutory rules governing electronic appearances.
Only one board member, John Marshall, was physically present, the officials said, which did not satisfy the in-person quorum requirement. Staff said the city will publish new notice of the special meeting and send certified-mail notices to adjacent property owners about the rescheduled date. “We're looking at trying to reschedule this meeting as a special meeting on May 15 at 05:30,” a staff member said.
Officials said the special meeting will use the same agenda that was published for the April 28 meeting. They apologized to members of the public who attended or attempted to join electronically but said the city could not proceed because it did not meet the statutory quorum provisions.
The postponement was presented as an administrative scheduling action rather than a formal vote; no motions or roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.
