(3) A member who is participating in a meeting by telephone, video-conference or any other means of communication which permits all members simultaneously to hear one another, shall be considered present and therefore shall count towards the quorum.
2. If:
(1) a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting; or
(2) during a meeting a quorum ceases to be present
the business or remaining business of that meeting shall be deferred to another meeting, whether already scheduled or to be scheduled, or shall be dealt with by the chairman of Council acting under delegated authority in accordance with Council's Standing Orders.
