Meeting #1: No quorum, the members who were there took public speakers. Some elected officials did speak after the public.
“We just wanted the ability to discuss, with our colleagues, our concerns and hear from them and have them hear us” CM Willis said.

2 meetings scheduled for today related to finding a new Dallas City Manager.
One is at 9am — the other at 1pm.

If the trend continues, I’d say another delay is coming.
