Meeting adjourned after failing to reach quorum; staff to reconvene June 25 at 12:00
Summary
A meeting in Laredo was adjourned after organizers determined a quorum was not present; staff were instructed to schedule a reconvened meeting for Wednesday, June 25 at 12:00 in the chambers.
A meeting in Laredo was adjourned after organizers determined a quorum was not present, and staff were directed to schedule a follow-up session for Wednesday, June 25 at 12:00, the presiding officer said.
Because a quorum was not established, the body could not take any official action. The presiding officer proposed waiting 15 minutes for additional members; after the pause the presiding officer instructed staff to coordinate the reconvened meeting and then adjourned the session.
During roll call, the presiding officer recorded Janine Arvace (role not specified) as absent; Sara Garza (role not specified) present; Theresa Parker (role not specified) present; Christina Davila Villareal absent; Wayne Nance absent (sent regrets); Francisco Paco Barrientos absent; Priscilla (last name not specified) absent; and Mark Gonzales absent. With two members noted present and multiple absences, the presiding officer said the group did not have a quorum and therefore could not proceed with agenda business.
The presiding officer offered a 15-minute window to wait for additional members; the meeting ultimately paused and the presiding officer said, "staff will make provisions to coordinate the meeting for Wednesday, June 25 in these chambers at 12:00." The presiding officer then closed the meeting.
No motions, votes or other formal actions were taken. Staff are to notify members if the schedule changes and to circulate details for the reconvened session.
