Summary

A member said Planning and Public Works, previously separated, will be brought back together; the change was adopted by voice vote and the action was presented as a response to attendance and quorum concerns among the 11-member legislature.

During the organizational meeting, a legislator outlined a structural change to standing committees: Planning and Public Works, which had been separated, would be reunited.

The speaker said the change was intended to address operational difficulties, noting the legislature has 11 members and that the chairperson would be able to step in to provide for duties or quorum shortfalls when necessary. The motion to recombine the committees was adopted by voice vote; the transcript records an "Aye" response and no opposition in the same exchange.

The transcript does not include a formal roll-call tally for this vote or the identity of the mover and seconder in the record. The change is procedural in nature and will affect how legislation and project oversight are assigned within the legislature going forward.
