Each member of a Board, Commission, Council
or Committee, whether compensated or uncompensated, who has been appointed
to such membership by the Town Board shall be required to attend meetings
of such Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency on a regular
basis.
In the event that any such member of a Board,
Commission, Council, Committee or Agency shall fail to attend three
consecutive meetings of such Board, Commission, Council, Committee
or Agency or shall fail to attend any four meetings out of the previous
12 meetings of such Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency,
such member shall be deemed to have failed to comply with such minimum
attendance requirement, unless such absences are excused by the Town
Board in its discretion for good and sufficient cause.
A.
It shall be the duty of the Chairman of such Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency to promptly notify the Town Board whenever a member of such Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency shall have failed to satisfy the minimum attendance requirement set forth in § 62-8.
B.
Whenever the Town Board is notified by the appropriate
Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency Chairman that a member
thereof has failed to satisfy the minimum attendance requirement,
the Town Board shall hold a public hearing, on not less than 10 days'
public notice, to determine whether such member has failed to satisfy
the minimum attendance requirement.
C.
Notice of such hearing shall be given to such Board,
Commission, Council, Committee or Agency member by certified mail
at least 10 days prior to such hearing.
If, after such hearing, the Town Board determines
that such member of a Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency,
as the case may be, has failed to satisfy the minimum attendance requirement,
such Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency member shall
immediately be removed from his or her respective Board, Commission,
Council, Committee or Agency.
Upon the removal of a Board, Commission, Council,
Committee or Agency member, the Town Board shall appoint a new member
to serve the unexpired term of the member who was removed.
Specifically excluded from this article is any
member of a Board, Commission, Council, Committee or Agency who is
elected to serve in such capacity.
