Two neighborhoods invite councilors to visit property to be voted on Monday for rezone. An opportunity for council members to see the area and listen to the residents, before the final vote.

Has someone explained quorum to the two neighborhoods?
Yes – good question! I’ve seen surprised elected officials leave a social gathering once they realized there were enough to require public notice!
They did notice media and are going to post online, hopefully before 3 PM.
So I guess the story now is that there will NOT be a quorum, so they are not posting it. In other words, they don’t want to go to the meeting.
from councilor Stehly;
This is an issue that needs to be discussed. We have had events like a recent public works bus tour , the Chamber annual meeting, a recent CVB event , a presentation for a street vacation and multiple Press conferences which all had City business discussed, and a quorum was allowed. But if ordinary citizens want a meeting with the council, outside of the Tuesday Venue, they are not afforded the same opportunity to engage
I have always assumed the City Council was continually policing themselves on the issue of quorum.
By the looks of Councilor Stehly’s remark…..
Obviously NOT!
Theresa. I do not understand what happened here. Could you explain?
WP- There should have been a 24 hour notice of the meeting so ALL the councilors could attend. By NOT being able to have a quorum it gives some of the councilors an easy excuse not to show up.
Scott..there was a 24 hour notice of the meetings.
Who were the councilors willing to meet with the neighborhoods?
