So we're not gonna be able to conduct the business that the commission intended to do tonight, which I apologize for.

So we're gonna give that five more minutes.

Yeah, I think it's working on those kind of functions.

Okay.

Uh I apologize, but we're not going to be able to conduct tonight's session as a quasijudicial organization or commission.

We will acquire quorum.

And we don't have quorum tonight.

We need four.

We only have three.

So the implication of that is that the items on the agenda would continue to next month.

Um town staff will be in touch with you if there's any change to that plan.

I apologize.

Yes.

So the town staff talked to Don this morning, he intended to be here.

So we're surprised that he's not here.

I guess

that's all that's the only information we have.

We can't submit recovery.

We can't be for callings.

I'm wondering if it's worth waiting until like seven o'clock.

It's up to you.

I

mean, we're we're here.

We're here.

We

can wait 10 minutes if that's what you prefer.

No, I don't I can call it on traditional.

Sharnika has tried to call in.

We're happy to wait 10 more.

We're happy to wait 10 more minutes.

If there's any chance that it would be seemed odd, it seems to be a good question.

Yeah, we're we're happy to wait 10 minutes, but to be clear, we can't conduct business without the fourth member of the commission tonight.

I

understand.

Yeah.

Yes,

sir.

Did I understand Ms.

Gentleman's comments?

The meeting is delayed on that those

items on the consent agenda

would not be approved to that meeting.

We that's right.

We we have to we have to vote um on that.

Right.

And so

they would not be able to get to permit until after that.

So the commission would have to approve for the for that for you to move forward.

The normal course of business would be that those things get continued to next month because we didn't have quorum this month.

We what we can discuss with town staff is whether or not we hold a special meeting virtually just to approve those so we can move those things forward, but we'd like Don to be part of that discussion because he's the sitting chairperson.

So there is another remedy there for things that were approved in the last meeting, but we would need to talk to Don about that.

And the town staff would communicate that back if that's what we were able to do.

But I I understand your desire to want to move it along, and we would try to find a way to do that.

Is

that fair, Aniscott?

Yeah.

Yeah, and and typically we can do consent agenda items virtually.

So I think that's what you were alluding to, Brian, is we could hold a special meeting on Zoom or teams to approve the consent agenda.

We do typically do quasi-judicial hearings, the evidentiary hearing in person, which just makes it harder to coordinate schedules and find a time outside of our regularly scheduled meetings.

So just to be real specific, the implication of that is that uh 21 Cobb Terrace, 100 South Columbia Street, 132 South Columbia Street.
