Notes from the Cemetery Commission, November 22, Hybrid meeting

1. Minutes — no quorum was present so no action could be taken
2. Strictly speaking the meeting should have ended since a quorum was not present. See Editor's Note. However, they remained in session and discussed the current Bylaw and the establishment of policies.
3. One change discussed was that the Cemetery Commission be reduced from 9 members to 7 members so that a quorum is fewer people.

Editor's Note: According to Mass General Law, a quorum is a simple majority of the members of the public body, unless otherwise provided in a general or special law, executive order or other authorizing provision. A quorum is the minimum number of voting members who must be present at a properly convened meeting in order to conduct business.
