Chair closes Graham County Commission meeting after lack of quorum; public comments deferred to May 20

The chair of the Graham County Commission closed the meeting on the morning of the session after announcing, “At this time, we do not have quorum.” The chair said members would wait about five minutes to see if additional commissioners could arrive, but confirmed they would be unable to transact business without a quorum.

The chair told attendees that paper forms from members of the public who had signed up to speak would be held over until the commission’s next meeting, scheduled for May 20, and that attendees would not need to submit new sign-up forms. The chair apologized for the inconvenience, said some commissioners were on scheduled leave or absent due to illness, and formally adjourned the meeting at 9 a.m.

Because the body lacked a quorum, no votes or formal actions were taken and agenda items were not considered. The next opportunity to present public comment and for the commission to transact business will be at the May 20 meeting.
