Committee adjourns early after bomb threat; meeting to reconvene at 10 a.m.
Summary
A safety threat to the purchasing department prompted an evacuation and a motion to adjourn; the presiding officer called for a voice vote and declared the motion carried, scheduling reconvening the following morning at 10 a.m.
During the session the presiding officer announced that a bomb threat had been found in the purchasing department and that security advised vacating the building. The presiding officer recommended adjourning for safety and attempting to resume the afternoon schedule if the situation could be resolved.
After the announcement, an attendee (Speaker 5) moved to adjourn. The presiding officer restated the motion, called for the ayes and nays, recorded “Aye,” declared “Motion carries,” and closed the committee to hold. The committee adjourned and planned to reconvene at 10 a.m. the next morning pending clearance by security.
