Sims added: “I personally think it’s a bit of a disservice that we don’t have at least five people here on this council as a quorum to conduct proper business.” We’ve got a couple of historic preservation commissioners here.” He started by noting who else was in the room: “I probably shouldn’t say anything, but I just got to say, we’ve got people from the public that have come here to share their voices, staff that is here to make a presentation. 17 agenda, but without a committee recommendation.īut as Wednesday’s gathering was wrapping up, councilmember Jim Sims remarked on the lack of quorum. That item will still appear on the city council’s Wednesday, Aug. The lack of quorum did not mean the church’s historic designation was delayed. The four councilmembers still heard the presentation from the city’s historic preservation program manager, and comments from the public. In practical terms, the lack of a quorum just meant that the four councilmembers could not take an advisory vote on the one agenda item, which was the historic designation of the Bethel AME church. But only four councilmembers showed up: Susan Sandberg, Jim Sims, Dave Rollo, and Ron Smith.
