Detroit City Council recesses special session after failing to reach quorum
Summary
A special session of the Detroit City Council was recessed until 10 p.m. after the roll call showed there was not a quorum; no agenda items were taken up.
A special session of the Detroit City Council recessed until 10 p.m. after the presiding officer declared there was not a quorum and no business could be conducted.
The roll call, conducted at the start of the meeting, recorded responses from Council member Scott Benson; Council member Fred Duhog the third; Council member Leticia Johnson; Council member Gabriel Santiago; Council member Mary Walters; Council member Andrew Whitfield Callaway; Council member Coleman Young the second; Council President Pro Tem James Tate; and Council President Mary Sheffield. After the roll call the chair declared, because a quorum was not present, the meeting would recess until 10 p.m.
Because the session recessed immediately following roll call, there were no votes or formal actions on agenda items during the special session. The clerk called the roll and recorded members' responses; the chair announced the recess for lack of quorum and set the reconvening time at 10 p.m.
The council is scheduled to reconvene at the time announced by the chair; any agenda items planned for the special session were not addressed before the recess.
