Latrobe council meeting postponed due to lack of quorum

The City of Latrobe municipal building, at Jefferson and Main streets, is seen on Sept. 26, 2017.

Latrobe Council’s monthly voting meeting has been postponed to Aug. 23 because the seven-member panel lacked a quorum to hold the session as regularly scheduled, on the second Monday of the month.

The postponement was attributed to “reasons beyond our control” in a posting Monday on the city’s Facebook page.

City Manager Michael Gray indicated some council members were unable to attend the meeting because of illness or vacation plans. As a result, he said, “We don’t have enough to form a quorum.”

He said the voting session instead will be held at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 23, followed by a review of agenda items for council’s September meeting.

Items slated for a vote in August include applications through a Westmoreland County program for funds to help demolish three dilapidated houses and revision of the 2021 city budget to include more than $409,000 in state-allocated covid-19 and fiscal recovery funding.
