The Carthage City Council met for its regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Thursday, January 2, 2020, but the council was unable to conduct any business because a majority of council members were not present.
Mayor Sarah Marie Smith was forced to adjourn due to lack of a quorum.
Only three council members, Councilman Sam Petty, Councilman Bill Reece, and Councilman Cole Ebel, were present at the meeting.
The Carthage City Council will hold a special called meeting at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 21, 2020, at Carthage City Hall, to conduct the council’s January business.
The following statement concerning the lack of a quorum at last week’s meeting was posted on the Town of Carthage Facebook page on Saturday:
