4. CONSENT AGENDA:
Commissioner Colwell expressed his concerns regarding how the last meeting took place.
City Attorney Good stated on February 2, the Regular Commission Meeting was called to
order and a quorum was not present in the room. The Vice Mayor is the presiding officer
that acknowledged the lack of quorum and recessed the items on the agenda to two dates
certain. The first is the Special Commission Meeting tonight on February 9th and the
second is the Regular Commission Meeting on February 17th. The recess of the February
2nd meeting is in line with the Commission's adoption of Robert's Rules of Order as a
guideline for parliamentary procedures. The Robert's Rules of Order and the Sunshine Law
mandate that no official action may be taken in the absence of a quorum. Robert's Rules of
Order provides that once a quorum is no longer present, the Commission must adjourn,
recess, or take some other measure to assemble a quorum. In this case, the Vice Mayor
called for the meeting to be recessed. Attorney General Opinion (AGO) 956 advises that if
the meeting is to be adjourned and reconvened to complete the business from the agenda
of the adjourned meeting, the second meeting should also be noticed. The City Clerk has
confirmed that notice was provided for tonight's meeting in accordance with law and with
the City's general procedures.
Motion by Commissioner Heriot, seconded by Commissioner Santiago,
to adopt the Consent Agenda items as presented.
