City legislative bodies can only take action if a quorum exists, which in Kentucky means that a majority of its members are present. If a quorum has not been met, then a city council or commission meeting cannot officially take place. Therefore, no official actions can be taken, such as passing ordinances, orders, or resolutions. Because the mayor is not considered a member of the legislative body in cities with a mayor-council form of government, the mayor is only counted for the purposes of a quorum in cities with the commission or city manager form of government.
The Kentucky League of Cities serves as the united voice of cities by supporting community innovation, effective leadership and quality governance.
