Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Ch. 5,

It shall be the responsibility of all nonelected individuals
appointed to serve on a Township board, commission, committee or authority
(hereinafter referred to as "board") to attend all regularly scheduled
meetings and faithfully discharge their duties and responsibilities
as established by state statute or the Township's Code.
In the event that a nonelected member of a board as described in § 5-4 below is unable to attend a meeting for a valid reason such as illness or business obligations, it shall be the responsibility of that board member to provide the secretary to the board with at least 24 hours' notice that he/she will be unable to attend a regularly scheduled meeting. An absence shall be considered as an "excused absence" when approved by a majority of the members of the board, commission or committee. An absence shall be deemed as excused when that absence occurs as a result of a legitimate illness or business obligation.
If a board member has unexcused absences for the longer period
of either six consecutive weeks or three consecutive meetings, it
shall be the responsibility of the board secretary to immediately
notify the Business Administrator/Township Clerk in writing. Upon
notification by the Business Administrator/Township Clerk, the Township
