A lack of a quorum at Annual Town Meeting continues to impact Rochester as Selectmen indefinitely postponed the Special Town Meeting set for Nov. 30.

The June 8 meeting required the participation of 100 registered voters. Nearly 30 days after the town conducted business Town Clerk Naida Parker discovered that only 91 people were present. That fact nullified votes on agenda items such as Rochester's multi-million dollar operating budget and new bylaws.

Town Administrator Mike McCue requested postponing Special Town Meeting until the governor approves special legislation certifying those votes.

“We want to make sure this matter is resolved before opening up a Special Town Meeting,” McCue told Selectmen on Monday night.

On Nov. 12, McCue will appear before the Joint Committee on Municipalities and Regional Government to make the town's case.

“The fact that I’ll be there will show legislators the urgency of this matter,” he said.

McCue said after the meeting the special legislation will likely be sent to the state House of Representatives and Senate before landing on the governor’s desk.

With the legislature’s holiday schedule fast approaching, McCue said a resolution before Nov. 30 was unlikely.

“We’ve got Thanksgiving smack dab in the middle of this month,” he said.

While the Special Town Meeting agenda hasn’t been made official yet, McCue said there were no pressing items.

“We don’t have any articles on the proposed Special Town Meeting warrant that are so timely in nature that we can’t wait a couple of months,” McCue said.

However, the meeting must be held before the next Annual Town Meeting.

“There are some things that need to be done,” McCue said.

Selectmen unanimously approved postponing the Special Town Meeting.
