Council votes to recess for August, with ability to call special meetings
Summary
The Amherst City Council voted to recess during August 2026 (August 1–31) with caveat that special meetings may be called if needed; the transcript records a roll-call result recorded as four yes and two no votes (the transcript also contains an inconsistent tally line).
A motion that the Amherst City Council recess from August 1 through August 31, 2026, passed at the June 22 meeting. The mover, Councilmember Nahorn (speaker 8), stated the motion was to recess for August with the proviso that the council could be called into special session if necessary. The motion was seconded and passed in a roll call vote.
The transcript includes an inconsistency: an early line recorded the result as "4 to 3," and a later correction recorded the result as "4 to 2." The recorded roll call votes list: Janek (yes), Neihorn (yes), Winarski (no), Deminski (no), Harmich (yes), and Mocummer (yes). That set of votes equals four yes and two no. The clerk recorded the motion as adopted and the council noted it would call special meetings if necessary during August.
Council did not elaborate further on calendar items. The motion and vote mean regular council sessions are scheduled to pause in August absent special meeting notices.
