617. Quorum requirement for comment, hearings, and presentations
|
Public comment is of little value if it is not heard by the officials who will be considering and acting upon it. A quorum must be present to hear testimony of all who testify, or the session must be stopped and continued when there is. |
Whenever Council or the governing or decision making body of a City unit of government or agency receives direct or remote, live public testimony, comment, or presentations given by individuals, groups, organizations, or the CAP, a quorum of such receiving body shall be present and should a quorum cease to exist at anytime, the presiding official shall recess the proceeding until a quorum shall be present.
