Special town meeting adjourned after lack of quorum; agenda deferred to 7 p.m.

A special town meeting was adjourned after officials determined a quorum was not present, and a committee member asked that the agenda be deferred to item number 10 at 7:00 p.m.

The meeting opened with attendees reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Shortly afterward a committee member said, 'Madam President, we do not have a quorum present, so I would request that you defer this to item number 10 of the agenda for 7:00 p.m.' The record shows no formal vote was taken on that request during the session.

When another participant asked whether weather had caused the shortfall in attendance, a participant replied, 'absolutely not an issue for this evening,' and suggested the questioner use a microphone at the next meeting, indicating concerns about audio rather than weather-related absences.

The presiding officer closed the meeting, saying, 'We will call this meeting adjourned,' and instructed attendees to wait until 7:00 p.m. to start the next session. Because a quorum was not present, the meeting took no binding actions and substantive agenda items were postponed until the later start time.

No motions were recorded on the transcript, and no formal vote tallies appear in the meeting record. The transcript references 'section 2-26A' when discussing meeting procedure; the text does not expand on that statute beyond naming it.
