Chair defers public hearing on Petition 26-01 after lack of quorum

The Chair of the Hobart City Redevelopment Authority moved to defer a scheduled public hearing on Petition 26-01 and closed the meeting after the Clerk said, "we don't have a quorum." The Chair announced the meeting start time as 05:40 and proposed postponing the hearing to the May meeting, though no specific rescheduled date was recorded.

The meeting began with the Chair calling the board/zoning appeals meeting to order and confirming the time. The Clerk stated, “we don't have a quorum,” and the Chair responded by proposing to defer the public hearing for the petition identified in the transcript as Petition26Dash01. The Chair asked for a voice vote, an "Aye" was recorded and the meeting was closed without a roll-call tally.

The transcript shows some inconsistency about the immediate rescheduling options—participants mention "next week" and "next month"—but the Chair later referenced the May meeting as a destination for the petition. The recording does not include a formal motion text with named mover/second, nor does it include a roll-call vote; the deferment was approved by voice vote as recorded.

Because the meeting lacked a quorum, no further substantive business was taken up. The transcript does not record a new, firm date for the rescheduled public hearing; the Chair indicated the petition would be heard at the May meeting, but the precise date or time was not specified.

What happened next: The public hearing on Petition 26-01 remains postponed pending a future meeting of the Hobart City Redevelopment Authority; the transcript provides no further scheduling details or formal written motion in the record.
