Weakly session adjourned with no quorum noted
Village council meeting in the municipal chamber lasted one third of a mantle with Chief of Police Licht presiding in Mayor Kaul's absence. No quorum, none of the commissioners or Attorney Kingler present. Review representative, Clerk Witt, and Mayor Kaul observed the adjournment as officials were reportedly out of town. Several commissioners were away on vacations, including Hann and Fletsch, with Wendt, Michinsky, and Kaul also traveling. Hardly any future meeting, as no one wants to take blame and council attendance remains uncertain.
