@JedThorp As is our procedure, we poll Council members to ensure we have a quorum before the meeting. Mr. Izzi's absence was unfortunately unexpected and beyond anyone's control.

Alas, they did NOT get a quorum, so the meeting was cancelled (with a room full of people who took time out their evening and travelled to be there.) 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️Just the latest example of how this system is broken.

It’s 6:40… waiting to see if we get a quorum for today’s CRMC meeting (scheduled to begin at 6:00pm.) 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The CRMC ROW Subcommittee meeting is running long. We'll begin the regular semi-monthly Council meeting shortly. Thank you for your patience.

A big Thank You to Rep. Fogarty, Sen. Gu & all others who sponsored CRMC’s bill (#S0626 and #H5686) to have all CRMC designated ROWs ID'd, labeled & displayed on official municipal plat maps. If passed, it's 1 more public resource to locate CRMC ROWs!
