Miami Lakes meeting adjourned after no quorum; all agenda items postponed
Summary
A Miami Lakes board meeting was adjourned after officials determined there was no quorum. A motion to postpone all agenda items to the next meeting was made and approved by voice; detailed vote records were not provided.
Chair Leoncio presided over the start of a Miami Lakes board session that was cut short when officials discovered there was no quorum, and the meeting was adjourned with all agenda items postponed to the next scheduled meeting.
The board clerk announced that Board member Cruz, Board member De la Sierra and Vice Chair Sandra were absent, and “We do not have quorum,” an unidentified staff member said. The staff member added that “all items get automatically postponed to the next meeting” and called for a motion to defer the agenda.
A motion to postpone all agenda items to the next meeting was made and put to a voice vote. “All in favor,” the unidentified staff member said; the transcript records assent but does not list how individual members voted.
The action taken was procedural: with a quorum not present, the board did not address any substantive agenda items and formally adjourned. The transcript does not specify the date of the next meeting, the names of any members who seconded the motion, or a roll-call tally of votes.
The brief session contained only procedural remarks about attendance and scheduling. No ordinances, resolutions, appointments, contracts or policy decisions were discussed or decided during this meeting.
