Chair moves to cancel March 11 meeting after lack of quorum

The Land Bank convened but did not reach a quorum, and the chair proposed canceling the March 11 meeting and adjourning the session.

The chair (speaker 3) said, "So, we're gonna cancel the March 11 meeting due to the lack of support forum," and participants agreed not to proceed with official business that requires a majority. Staff member (speaker 1) had begun recording the meeting after 5 p.m. and flagged that, without a quorum, the group could not accept minutes or take formal action.

Committee member (speaker 2) described local development matters that were on the agenda for future consideration, including an incomplete housing project at Stroudwater Preserve and related trail connections. The committee member said the development is "incomplete" and referenced a large structure (transcript: "90 foot bridal") and "lot of different funding sources," and added that parcel updates and developer-led briefings would be best handled with full commissioner attendance.

Speakers discussed trail access and wayfinding tied to the Stroudwater Preserve project, mentioning the Jack Bar connector, an existing trail along the Stroudwater (transcript also uses 'Stratwater') river, an Owls Nest trailhead and connections to Westbrook Street. Chair (speaker 3) and Committee member (speaker 2) said they plan to defer detailed parcel updates until more commissioners can attend.

No formal motions with mover/second and recorded roll-call votes were taken because the meeting did not reach quorum. The assembled participants agreed by consensus to cancel the upcoming meeting and adjourn the current session; the chair and staff ended the recording and live stream.

The meeting ended with the chair and staff stopping the live stream. Future procedural steps discussed included reminding commissioners about attendance and possibly requiring confirmations for repeated absences, a suggestion put forward by Committee member (speaker 2).
