The Board of Trustees finds that regular meeting attendance
by all appointed board members will advance the public interest. This
Board determines that regular attendance by appointed board members
at their respective meetings is critical to the proper function of
such boards and to timely and reasoned action on applications submitted
to the boards. This Board further determines that regular meeting
attendance is a condition of the appointment of each board member.
This article shall apply to all members of the following boards:
The following is hereby established as the minimum meeting attendance
requirements:
A. No board member shall be absent from more than three successive meetings
or more than four meetings in any one calendar year. As used herein,
the word "meeting" applies to any regular or special meeting of the
member's board. A member shall not be deemed absent from a meeting
if he or she has a legitimate excuse for medical reasons and communicates
that excuse to the Chairman or Secretary of the board prior to the
meeting.
The Mayor shall have the power, subject to the approval of the
Board of Trustees, to remove, after the opportunity for a hearing,
any board member for noncompliance with the minimum requirements established
herein.
