Historically, absences are rare at the final council budget meeting. The Star pointed out the public posts and asked if she had a return flight booked before the meeting was scheduled to begin. Holland did not respond to additional questions about whether she had a return flight booked in advance and if that flight had been overbooked. The last flight operated by Delta landed at 7:35 p.m. on Feb. 15 - five hours before the council meeting ended. The budget meeting saw several close calls, including a couple of ties, which by council rules always lose.
