Resident urges starting elevator for 86-year-old relative; request delayed by no quorum
Summary
A resident said her 86-year-old mother 'almost can't walk' and urged officials to start the building elevator, but the request could not be acted on because the Chair said there was no quorum; staff said they would poll members about a special meeting.
A resident told the meeting her mother is 86 and "almost can't walk," and she urged that the building elevator be started so her mother can more easily access the facility. "Our mother is 86," the resident said. "She almost can't walk. We need to start the elevator."
Because the presiding officer announced there was not a quorum (the Chair said four members are required and only three were present), the resident's request could not be acted on that evening. The Chair acknowledged the urgency and offered to have staff poll members and to coordinate with a staff member named Amanda about arranging a special meeting to take up the work sooner.
Speakers also discussed whether a board member could join by phone; attendees said attempts earlier in the day to reach absent members had been unsuccessful, citing summer travel and emergencies. The transcript records differing statements about the next regular meeting (some cited July 16; others mentioned July 7) and does not state a year or identify the formal body. The Chair said staff would follow up with the resident.
No formal vote or decision about the elevator was recorded.
