Sawyer County meeting canceled after failure to reach quorum
Summary
A Sawyer County board meeting was canceled during roll call after a staff member determined too few members were present to conduct business, citing the county bylaws; no agenda items were considered.
A Sawyer County board meeting was canceled during roll call after officials determined fewer than the required number of members were present, a staff member said.
The meeting was called to order and the clerk read roll. Several board members answered as present, but the staff member conducting roll call said, “There’s still only 4. So we don’t have a quorum. So we, this meeting is, canceled. Thank you. Thanks.” The staff member also noted earlier in the roll call that “The bylaws say you can put in 1 board member,” but that adding one member still left the board short of a quorum.
Names recorded during roll call included Kaye Wilson, Tweed Schumann, Marshall Savitsky, Chuck Van Etten, Jeff Haney, Bill Trepanier, Don Pettit, Carol Pearson and Dr. Dunlap. The staff member announced there was not a quorum and ended the meeting before any agenda items were taken up.
Because the meeting was canceled at roll call, no votes were held and no formal actions or committee business were conducted. The transcript did not specify the board’s required quorum threshold, any rescheduling plans or the next meeting date.
