The efficient operation of the City of Paris, Tennessee, depends to a large extent on the diligent and unselfish efforts of dedicated citizens of the City of Paris, Tennessee who donate their time to serve as members of the various boards, commissions, and committees. However, these appointed boards, commissions, and committees cannot operate effectively without a quorum for their meetings. Failure by such appointed board, commission, or committee members to attend meetings on a regular basis causes inconvenience, delays, and additional expense for those appearing before such boards, commissions, committees, the members of such boards, commissions, or committees in attendance, and the staff of the City of Paris, Tennessee.
