Board of Commissioners lacks quorum for meeting

For the first time in years, Mayor Homer Nicholson was unable to call the Ponca City Board of Commissioners to order Monday night because of a lack of a quorum.

With five members on the board, three must be present in order to hold a meeting. On Monday night, only Nicholson and Vice Mayor Nancy Rathbun were present.

City Attorney Mike Vanderburg and City Manager Craig Stephenson said the board will call a special meeting by next Monday because of urgent business which must be completed by that day.
