Council votes to cancel two August meetings and Dec. 22 regular meeting
Summary
Amherst City Council voted to cancel the August 11 and August 25 regular meetings and the December 22 regular meeting, and agreed that the mayor may call special meetings if needed.
Councilmember Jack moved that the council cancel its two regular meetings in August and the regular meeting scheduled for Dec. 22, 2025, citing historically light agendas in those periods. Council considered the motion and recorded both aye and nay responses during the voice vote; the clerk announced that the motion carried and those meetings will be cancelled. The council stated the mayor may call special meetings if necessary.
The motion as recorded in the transcript included an inconsistent numeric tally (“Motion carries 5 to 9”); the record shows an affirmative voice vote and the clerk’s announcement that the motion carried, but no clear roll-call tally of yes/no votes was provided in the transcript. No additional scheduling or substitutions were made at the June 9 meeting.
