President ends meeting after lack of quorum; budget hearing postponed
Summary
The meeting was called to order but the presiding officer announced three supervisors were absent and there was no quorum; the session was adjourned and a planned budget hearing was postponed to the regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday.
The meeting's presiding officer called the session to order but said there was no quorum after several supervisors were absent, and the assembly did not conduct any formal business. The officer said a planned budget hearing will be taken up at the regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday.
The president led the Pledge of Allegiance and asked for a moment of silence for first responders and those affected by recent events in Florida before conducting a roll call. During roll call the presiding officer named Supervisor Bitler and said, "Chairman Smith is absent due to illness," and that "Vice Chairman Rhodes is unavailable" and "Supervisor Bridenstein is not available." The officer concluded, "Therefore unfortunately we do not have a quorum for this meeting," and apologized for convening members only to adjourn.
Because a quorum was lacking, the presiding officer said the body could not conduct business and noted the next regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday would be used to consider the budget and other items. Participants made informal remarks about adjourning and then left without a recorded motion or vote.
No official motions, votes or substantive agenda actions were completed. The meeting was effectively adjourned and business will resume at the next scheduled meeting on Tuesday.
