Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In other jurisdictions, courts which have been confronted with this issue have found, almost without exception, that compliance with statutory requirements as to hearing and notice is jurisdictional and that ordinances which have not been adopted in conformity with the enabling Act are void. [ Id. at 1109-10 (internal citations omitted).]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Inherent in these decisions is the principle that the entire public is entitled to notice in full compliance with the governing statutory provisions, and that the public's entitlement to such notice may not be waived by those individual members of the public who actually attend the improperly noticed hearing.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the recusal of one of the members of the Board of Supervisors reduced the total membership of the board to the number of remaining members who were entitled to vote, which in this case is four. The vote of three to one out of a total of four meets the requisite two-thirds required for the measure to pass.”
