It is resolved by the Township Committee of the Township of
West Deptford, County of Gloucester, and State of New Jersey that
an Attendance Policy is hereby adopted in the Township of West Deptford
applicable to all nonelected members of the various boards, commissions
and/or committees.
In the event that any nonelected member shall fail to attend
three consecutive, regular, scheduled meetings, then that member(s)
shall be automatically removed from said board, commission and/or
committee without further notice, and the member's seat shall become
vacant until a replacement is appointed as required by state or local
law.
Only significant medical absences/hospitalization shall be accepted
in lieu of attendance on regular meeting dates. Such absences shall
not be considered in a determination for removal as outlined above.
Notification of any such medical absence must be provided to the board,
commission and/or committee.
A bona fide employment obligation shall be accepted in lieu
of attendance on regular meeting dates. Such absences shall not be
considered in a determination for removal as outlined above. Notification
of any such employment absence must be provided to the board, commission
and/or committee.
Upon adoption of this policy, any other existing policy or procedure
for attendance/removal as a nonelected member of any board, commission
and/or committee heretofore established, shall be declared null and
void and only the provisions of this policy will apply to any nonelected
members of any board, commission and/or committee for the Township
of West Deptford unless removal and replacement is otherwise controlled
by any state law applicable to said board, commission and/or committee.
