Commission selects Dr. Gloria Bonner as temporary chair; minutes and some votes tabled after lack of quorum
Summary
With the regular chair and vice chair absent, commissioners nominated and selected Dr. Gloria Bonner to serve as temporary chair for the May 7 meeting. The commission lacked a quorum for some agenda items, so approval of minutes and other votes were tabled.
At the May 7 meeting, commissioners selected Dr. Gloria Bonner as temporary chair after the regular chair and vice chair were absent. The commission proceeded with introductions and several informational items but did not have a quorum for all business items.
Why it matters: the temporary chair allowed the meeting to proceed for nonvoting items, but the lack of quorum meant formal approvals — including approval of previous minutes and any items requiring a vote — were deferred to a future meeting.
Details: Staff acknowledged Mitzi had circulated minutes in advance; commissioners moved to table approval of the March 5 minutes and other vote-required items until a meeting with a quorum. Dr. Bonner presided over the meeting during the interim period and several presentations and introductions were made as informational items.
Next steps: the minutes and any items requiring formal action will be returned to a meeting with a quorum for votes; staff said it would consult counsel about which operational items could proceed without a formal vote.
