Some discussion occurred regarding Brown Act procedures in the event a quorum is not met. As per the Brown Act, the membership meeting may be adjourned by a vote of the majority. Under Section 54942. 9(C), a gathering, conference, of the Board open to the public can be excluded from the Act, under the condition under which discussion occurred that was all on a publicly scheduled agenda and required no Board action or discussion other than that on the agenda, that did not exclude public and did not require any board action other than adjourment.
