Such was the situation that occurred at Wednesday's meeting for one key vote on the Cook's Farm project.
The Council currently has only 8 members due to the resignation of Glenn Jones. The Special Election to vote in the new councilor occurs on Dec 16th. Three councilors recused themselves from the discussion and vote creating this situation. The councilors recused were Padula, Mercer and Bissanti.
In the meantime, the Cook's Farm project is on hold waiting to get the final permits issued so they can begin work. After verification of the requirements for the Planning Board, Attorney Mark Cerel determined that the one vote the Council was able to make was sufficient to allow the Planning Board to issue their approval.
If that turns out to not be the case, then the next Council meeting (scheduled for Nov 19th) the Council will need to look at their alternatives.
