South Miami advisory board defers meeting after lack of quorum
Summary
An advisory board meeting in the City of South Miami was deferred after officials found they lacked the required quorum; the single agenda item tied to a recused member will proceed under staff recommendation or wait for the next available date.
The advisory board of the City of South Miami did not have enough members present to conduct business and deferred the meeting, the chair announced. During roll call the city attorney stated that "we do not have quorum to proceed with the, today's agenda," and recommended deferring the agenda to the next available date.
Board members waited briefly for additional arrivals but then agreed to defer the single agenda item. The city attorney advised that for lack of quorum the meeting should be rescheduled and noted members may email comments to staff; Lourdes from the chambers said emailed comments would be treated like citizen comments and would not carry the force of a formal board recommendation. The chair declared the meeting adjourned without a vote.
