Tyrone Borough Council was forced to cancel their June 11 meeting last night due to the issue that Council did not have enough members present to have a quorum.
\nIncluding the Mayor, who is a voting member of Council, there are eight Council Members. According to their home rule charter, there must be five Council Members present to have a quorum, in other words conduct business.
\nThe announcement on the cancellation was made shortly after 7 p.m. by Council Vice President Bill Latchford. He also added that this hasn\u2019t happened in 13 years.
\nAlong with Latchford, Council Members Bill Fink, Steve Hanzir, and Virgie Werner were present.
