Laredo Historic District Land Board recesses for lack of quorum; item to be re-noticed to Laredo City Council

The Laredo Historic District Land Board recessed its meeting at 12:00 p.m. because it did not have a quorum and directed staff to re-notice the agenda item for placement on the next Laredo City Council agenda, a staff member said. The board then adjourned.

Board members called during roll call included Tarnina Reisz, Thomas Isiliver, Sara Digarca, Theresa Parker, Christina Davila Villareal, Francisco "Paco" Barrientos, Priscilla Iglesias and Mark Gonzales; the roll call showed members responding but the board did not reach the number required to conduct official business, the transcript shows.

A staff member told the board, "we will make all the necessary arrangements to re notice, do all the necessary, coordination and put the item on the city council agenda, the very next city council agenda of the 20 first," according to the transcript. The staff member also said the meeting would be placed in recess to allow two more board members to attend so members could establish a quorum.

There were no formal motions recorded in the transcript. The meeting record shows the group recessed and later adjourned without taking formal action on the agenda item.

Because no substantive hearing or vote was held, the underlying agenda item was deferred; the staff member indicated the city staff will re-notice and coordinate city-council consideration. The transcript does not specify which agenda item was to be re-noticed, the exact date of the next Laredo City Council meeting, or which two additional board members were expected to arrive.

The board closed the meeting with brief adjournment remarks and no further public discussion on the agenda item.
