Clerk closes Fort Pierce board meeting after chair misses session, leaving no quorum
Summary
A clerk called a Fort Pierce board meeting to order, led the pledge and then closed the session minutes later after the board chair did not attend and the panel lacked a quorum. No votes or formal business took place.
A clerk closed a Fort Pierce board meeting on short notice after the board chair did not attend, leaving the panel without a quorum, the clerk said.
The clerk called the meeting to order and led the pledge of allegiance but then announced the meeting would be closed because the chair missed the session and another member, Reid Southers, was absent. “That was fun, guys,” the clerk said after moving to close the meeting.
During roll call the clerk listed attendance: one named individual (Don Bergeron) was recorded as not present; Ryan Collins, James Mechula and Brandon Nobles were noted as present; a speaker clarified the name Tina Peterson; Reid Southers was absent. Because the board lacked the minimum members required to take official action, the clerk closed the meeting without any motions, votes or formal business.
The clerk asked whether a member would serve as chairman pro tem to call the meeting to order but offered to serve if needed; no temporary appointment or formal motion was recorded. No rescheduling, future hearing date or follow-up assignment was stated during the session.
The meeting concluded with brief, informal remarks and was adjourned. No official actions were taken.
