ANC1B Fails to Achieve Quorum Due to Rain

Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 1B/U Street failed to achieve a quorum last night at its regular monthly meeting last night (July 10). ANC1B will try again next Thursday, July 17, at 7pm, at the Banneker Recreation Center (2500 Georgia Avenue NW), according to ANC1B Chair James Turner (commissioner for district 09).

The skies opened up a little after 6:30pm last night. This apparently kept most of the commissioners away from the 7pm meeting. I was also delayed and did not arrive until 8pm. The meeting was just breaking up as I arrived.

I saw the following commissioners at the aborted meeting: Turner, Marc Morgan (district 01), Juan Lopez (district 07), and Zahra Jilani (district 12). Other commissioners may have been there as well.

Some of the topics scheduled to be discussed on July 17 include:

• the development of the Grimke School (1923 Vermont Avenue)
• liquor license protests for New Town Kitchen (1336 U Street) and Signature Lounge (1920 9th Street)
• settlement agreement for Right Proper Brewery (624 T Street)
• temporarily moving the Capital Bikeshare Station at 13th and U Streets.

This is the third time in eight months ANC1B has failed to achieve a quorum at its regularly scheduled meetings -- see SALM blog posts for March 10 and December 9, 2013.
