The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals convened on September 23, 2025, to address several petitions and procedural matters. The meeting began with a reminder for attendees who wished to speak to take an oath, affirming their commitment to tell the truth during the hearing. Due to technical difficulties with the microphones, the board encouraged participants to notify them if they could not hear properly.
The chairperson informed attendees that only four voting members were present, as one member was absent. This meant that a unanimous vote of all four present members was required for any petition to pass. The chairperson offered the option to postpone any petitions until a full board could convene, but all petitioners opted to proceed with their cases.
Following the opening remarks, the board moved to accept the minutes from the previous meeting held on September 9, 2025. A motion was made to waive the reading of these minutes, which was unanimously approved by the members present.
As the meeting progressed, the chairperson reminded attendees to silence their cell phones and to approach the microphone when their cases were called, ensuring visibility and audibility for the video recording of the meeting.
Overall, the meeting was marked by procedural clarity and a focus on ensuring that all participants understood the voting requirements and the process for addressing their petitions. The board's next steps will involve hearing the cases presented during this session, with the expectation of reaching decisions based on the votes of the four present members.
