The Mobile Tree Commission has not met since March, holding up development projects and drawing criticism.
The seven-member board needs at least four members to conduct business. Part of the problem is that there are two vacancies. But at last week’s meeting, no one has showed up.
William Rooks, the Tree Commission chairman, acknowledged that achieving quorum has been a challenge the past several months. He attributed that to vacancies that have numbers as many as three. It’s not just the meetings, Robb said. He told council members that the website has not been updated since May. The phone voicemail has been full since April. And he said staff rarely return text messages and emails.
According to city officials, the meeting cancelations have delayed about a half-dozen commercial projects, some of which are sizeable developments.
