Summary
Augusta City officials announced they lacked a quorum and agreed to move a planned agenda item—related to sharing information authorized under a recent motion on three town halls—to the city's regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday; the clerk will post notice within the statutorily required period.
Augusta City officials announced they did not have a quorum and deferred a planned agenda item to the city's regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, officials said.
"We do not have a quorum," said Unidentified Speaker 1, identified in the record as the chair, and added that the item they intended to discuss involved getting permission to share information to satisfy requests from the body that enabled them.
The chair said there was some question whether sharing that information would be allowed under "the motion authorizing 3 town halls last week." "Attorney McLean has advised us just to move this to the regularly scheduled meeting that was supposed to take place Thursday," the chair said.
Unidentified Speaker 2 told the chair to add the item to Thursday's agenda and "let the clerk notice the meeting as she would because she does have the requisite enough time to, you know, post it within the statutorily, statutorily required notice period," making clear the meeting will be posted in accordance with legal notice requirements.
The chair apologized to those who had traveled to attend the meeting and thanked the attendees present. No motions or votes were recorded during the session; the item will be taken up at the Thursday meeting, and the clerk was directed to post notice consistent with statutory requirements.
The meeting record does not specify the exact agenda item by title or the body requesting the information; those details were described only as "the item that I intended to speak on" and "the body that enabled us."
