MEETINGS WITH NO QUORUM
Mr. Hollister reminded the Commission that there was no quorum at the July meeting of
the Airports Relation Commission, and therefore there was no official meeting and hence
no minutes. The Commission discussed what to do in case there is no quorum.
Commissioner May moved to establish the policy that if there is no quorum for a
scheduled meeting, those Commissioners who did arrive shall discuss the items on the
agenda without taking any official action on them and that minutes shall be taken and
made available to the full body at the next scheduled meeting.
Commissioner Fitzer seconded the motion.
AYES: 6
NAYS: 1 (Roszak)

assistance from NDC4
