[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the Town
of West New York 10-20-2010 by Ord. No. 24/10. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
Any member of any Town board, committee, commission, authority
or other agency whose members are appointed by the Board of Commissioners,
Mayor, or any Commissioner as the head of any Town department who
is absent from four consecutive regular meetings or shall have failed
to attend and participate at any meetings of the body for a period
of eight consecutive weeks, whichever shall be of longer duration,
and who is not absent by reason of legitimate illness or excused for
other reasons by a majority of the other members of such body, shall
be considered as having been removed from their position upon notification
by resolution of such board or body directed to the Board of Commissioners,
Mayor or other Commissioner with the power of appointment over such
member. Such removal shall be effective upon the receipt of such resolution
by the respective Board or Commissioner.
If the appointed member who fails to attend such meetings as provided for in § 5-1 is also a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Town, that member shall be subject to removal in the same manner as any other member, subject only to any statutory provision requiring that particular individual's membership on such body by virtue of his office.
