Meeting canceled after chair announces lack of quorum; agenda moved to April 20

The presiding official of the Spalding County Commission announced at 6:00 p.m. that the body could not meet because it lacked a quorum. "I am so sorry to uh announce that uh we do not have a quorum," the official said, and added that by law three commissioners must be present to hold the meeting.

Earlier the presiding official said two commissioners were present and one remained en route from the north side of Atlanta; the commission said it would wait until five minutes after 6 p.m. for the absent member to arrive. When the third commissioner did not appear in time, the presiding official ended the session and said agenda items would be rescheduled for the April 20 meeting.

No motions were made and no votes were taken because the meeting could not be convened. The presiding official closed the session and thanked those in attendance.
