When: Columbia Council meeting Sept. 5.
What happened: Borough Council members and Parks and Recreation advisory board members discovered that a misinterpretation about the number of advisory board members needed to make a quorum has led the advisory group to unnecessarily cancel several meetings.
Numbers: Confusion occurred because most people thought the advisory board needed four members to make a quorum, since the board can accommodate seven members. However, only five people have been appointed to the board, which means that only three members are needed for a public meeting, said Evan Gabel, borough solicitor.
