A scheduled meeting was adjourned after officials said fewer than the four members required for a physical quorum were present.
Meeting organizers said during roll call that Mr. Clark, Mr. Gonzales (remote), Attorney Peter Murphy (remote), Mr. Collins and Mayor Sarno were present; Miss Gresham and Miss Hurst were absent and Miss Hurst was excused for a family commitment. Organizers said a committee member had an emergency and could not attend, leaving the meeting without the required physical quorum of four individuals in the room.
The body’s rules require a physical quorum of four people, and staff said they confirmed with the body’s attorneys that there was no exception. Because the quorum requirement was not met, the presiding official asked for a motion to adjourn and announced that the meeting will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
No formal business, votes, or substantive agenda discussion occurred before the adjournment. Meeting organizers apologized for the inconvenience and said they will set a new date and notify attendees.
Details recorded in the meeting transcript show the roll call and the explanation about the quorum requirement occurred during the opening of the meeting and the closing remarks confirmed the adjournment and intent to reschedule.
