Last night's Town Council meeting was canceled because not enough members showed up to form a quorum.
The board needs five of its nine members for a quorum, but Stephen Whalen, Matthew Kelly, Shannon Zollo, Joseph McGann and Tina Powderly were unable to attend.
Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting said this was only the second time he could recall in the 11 years he's worked in Franklin that a meeting was canceled because there was no quorum.Read more: http://www.milforddailynews.com/archive/x574193139/Franklin-Town-Council-cant-reach-quorum#ixzz1K9K2aUdj
Normally, investigators start at the least-damaged area of a building and work toward the most damaged spot to pinpoint where the fire began. Once they discover that, they can ask the property owner what was located there and pinpoint a cause, Mieth said.
But that process was difficult in this case, prompting officials to offer the reward, she said.
"Given the fact that the building is unoccupied and there were no obvious witnesses to the fire, they are asking for the public's help," she said.
Investigators completed their site work Friday and are now reviewing timelines and other information, Franklin Fire Capt. Stephen Parchesky said.
