Not enough members show to have quorum
Heath Springs Council fails to meet
HEATH SPRINGS – The Heath Springs Town Council meeting Tuesday, May 21, was rather uneventful and brief. No formal motions. No action. Not even any debate.
That’s because the meeting never happened.
Only one council member – Mark Bridges – was at Town Hall on time for the 7 p.m. meeting. Councilwoman Iva Drakeford appeared a few minutes afterward.
Five people serve on Heath Springs Town Council, so at least three members must be present to have a quorum.
