What this was about
Kershaw County Council officially voted to cancel their upcoming meeting scheduled for June 25, 2019. The decision was reached after Chairman Ben Connell reviewed the potential agenda and determined there was insufficient business to justify convening the full council. Because the original meeting schedule was established through a formal ordinance back in December, council members concluded that a specific vote was necessary to repeal that meeting date legally. This process ensures transparency and strict adherence to state law and Robert's Rules of Order, preventing council from acting informally. With this motion passed unanimously, the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Kershaw County Council will take place on July 9, 2019. By canceling the session, the county avoids the procedural requirement of gathering a quorum for a meeting without substantive public business or pending ordinances to address.
