Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15 (2026) § 15-212
QUORUM; EFFECT OF VACANCY
Operative Text
Three members of the commission shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of conducting the business thereof. A vacancy in the commission shall not impair the right of the remaining members to exercise all the powers of the commission. (Ord. 2123, § 7, passed 3-10-1980)
Section 15-212 of Bellevue, Nebraska's Code of Ordinances establishes the operational rules for the rent-related commission's decision-making capacity. Under this provision, three members must be present for the commission to conduct official business, forming what is legally called a quorum. Additionally, if a seat on the commission becomes vacant for any reason, the remaining members retain full authority to act on the commission's behalf without interruption.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Landlords and property managers appearing before or submitting matters to the commission governed by § 15-212 should be aware that official proceedings can move forward with as few as three members present. A vacancy on the commission does not pause or invalidate the commission's authority, meaning decisions and hearings can still proceed. Operators generally track commission meeting schedules and membership status to anticipate when and how their matters will be heard.

Under § 15-212 of Bellevue's Code of Ordinances, tenants can expect the commission to remain functional even if one or more seats are unfilled, since the remaining members retain full powers. A quorum of three is all that is required for the commission to conduct business, so proceedings affecting tenant matters are not automatically delayed by vacancies. Tenants who have concerns about commission proceedings may consult a local tenant-rights organization to better understand how this structure affects their ability to participate or raise issues before the body.
