Frisco council cancels meeting after missing member; zoning hearings to be renotified

At a scheduled meeting tonight, the Frisco council was unable to convene after a fourth member failed to appear, leaving the body without a quorum, the clerk said.

The clerk told attendees that "we just learned that our fourth member that was supposed to be here will not be here tonight," and that, as a result, the council could not proceed with its agenda. The clerk said zoning cases on the agenda "will have to renotify the zoning cases." The clerk also said the council would honor requests to extend or withdraw replats: "The replants in which, they've asked for an extension or withdrawal, we'll be honoring those."

The clerk said items that have been recommended for approval and are subject to the 30-day shot clock "will move forward," while other items will be deferred for renotification and rescheduling. The clerk apologized to those present and confirmed, "So no meeting. Council because of lack of quorum."

Because the transcript does not specify a new meeting date, the clerk did not announce a rescheduled hearing date at the time of the announcement. Affected applicants and members of the public waiting for zoning hearings were told those hearings will be renotified, and applicants who sought extensions or withdrawal will have those requests honored. Items covered by the 30-day statutory or administrative time limit will continue to be processed under that clock, per the clerk's statement.

There were no votes, motions, or substantive deliberations recorded before the cancellation. The council did not take formal action on any agenda items before adjourning for lack of quorum.
