The Alba City Council was unable to conduct business Monday when it failed to seat a quorum.

Council members Tammy Kelbe, Debbie Shaddox and Tim Westervelt were not in attendance, and the meeting was rescheduled for Monday, May 13.

The council had several important matters to attend to, including awarding a contract for street improvements, a report on unsightly properties from the city’s tax attorney and a closed session concerning a citizen complaint about Police Chief Juan Ramirez.
