Roll call was conducted, revealing the presence of Christen Cana Ala (attending remotely), Alexander Silva (President), John Brand, and Rick Man. Michael Fis was also present as a new member representing the planning board, though he had not yet been sworn in. Absent members included Victor Ferris, Jim Hornsby (due to pneumonia), a city council member, and Joan Bentley. A discussion ensued regarding the quorum requirement, confirming that five sworn-in members were necessary. With only four sworn-in members present, the committee determined it lacked a quorum.
