Summary
The Sawyer County board was called to order Thursday, July 2, but the clerk recorded only three members present. The chair adjourned the meeting immediately; no business was conducted and a vacancy and one excused member were noted.
The Sawyer County board was called to order on Thursday, July 2, but the meeting was adjourned after the clerk recorded that fewer than the required number of members were present.
The clerk told attendees that "chair Wilson called the meeting to order on Thursday, July 2 at 05:05." During roll call the clerk listed members including Kaye Wilson, Chuck Van Etten, John Minto, Jim Miller, Jeff Haney and Lorraine Gauthier, and said Pam Mueller was excused; the clerk also noted a vacancy on the board.
The clerk then stated, "You only have 3 members, so we do not have a quorum," and a board participant announced, "Because of, no quorum for this evening, I, adjourn this meeting." With that, the meeting ended without any formal business or votes.
Because the board lacked a quorum, no motions were made or votes taken and no committee actions were recorded. The clerk's roll call and the declaration that a quorum was absent were the only substantive entries recorded in the transcript.
The board did not set a new date or time for a rescheduled meeting in the recorded discussion. The meeting record shows an excused absence for Pam Mueller and an outstanding vacancy on the board roster.
