Frustrated City Meetings Collapse Over Quorum and Bids
At the Municipal Building last night the Housing Authority failed to form due to only three of five members present and a planned resignation. The City Council meeting to open airport turnaround bids also produced no bids, though members discussed other business. Authority members Helmintoller Kelsey Brown and City Engineer Johnson attended. Keith’s resignation leaves a replacement needed for a quorum. The group aims to form early and elect officers once a replacement is appointed.
