Chair cancels Town of Harrisburg planning and zoning meeting after loss of quorum
Summary
The chair canceled the Town of Harrisburg planning and zoning meeting after a fourth member could not attend, leaving the panel without its required four-member quorum; attendees were apologized to and told a mailed notice will confirm the rescheduled date (the recording included both April 21 and April 23).
The chair called off the Town of Harrisburg planning and zoning meeting on the grounds that the panel lacked a four-member quorum, saying the fourth member was unable to attend and asking that attendees accept an apology for the inconvenience.
The chair told those present that “We need 4 voting members to have a quorum,” and that staff had contacted the absent member by phone and email. The chair said an applicant had agreed to wait an additional 10 minutes but that the meeting could not proceed without the fourth vote.
At one point the chair said the meeting would be rescheduled for April 21, and later in the same exchange announced it would be rescheduled for April 23. The chair also said, “Weve just received notification that our fourth member is unable to attend tonight,” and that a new notice would be mailed to inform attendees of the new date. The recording does not resolve which reschedule date is final.
The chair apologized to those who attended and adjourned the meeting. No formal votes were taken and no agenda items were discussed on the record because the commission lacked a quorum. Staff will issue a mailed notice with the confirmed reschedule date.
The meeting was adjourned without action.
