[Adopted 11-13-2000 by L.L. No. 3-2000 (Ch. 18, Art. I, of the 1986 Code)]
The Town Board 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:
A.
The following is hereby established as the minimum meeting attendance
requirements:
(1)
No board member shall be absent from more than three successive meetings
or more than six meetings in any one calendar year.
(2)
No Board of Assessment Review members shall be absent from more than
two successive, state-mandated May Grievance Days.
(3)
The attendance policy for ad hoc or standing boards shall be set
by the Town Board.
B.
As used herein, the word "meeting" applies to any regular or special
meeting or public hearing 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 or unexpected personal reasons and communicates that excuse
to the Town Clerk's office prior to the meeting.
The Town Supervisor shall have the power, subject to the approval
of the Town Board, to remove, after the opportunity for a hearing,
any board member for noncompliance with the minimum requirements established
herein.
