member of a board or a commission who is absent for three consecutive
regular scheduled meetings of the board or commission to which he
or she was appointed by the council, or who fails to attend at least
75% of the regular scheduled meetings during a 12 month period, which
period commences on the date of appointment of the individual commissioner
to office, shall be referred to an ad hoc committee comprised of the
chair (president) or chairperson pro tempore (president pro tempore)
of the affected commission and two members of the city council selected
at random. The ad hoc committee will then determine if the absences
should be excused. Upon making such determination the committee will
issue a report to the city council with a recommendation. The city
council shall take appropriate action including, but not limited to,
excusing the absences, removing the board member or commissioner,
or take other action as the council deems appropriate.

purposes of determining when a board member or commissioner reaches
the threshold limits for absenteeism, those regular scheduled meetings

that meeting, those members who reported prior to the cancellation
that they would not attend would be recorded as absent. Members who
reported that they would attend such a meeting would be credited with
attendance.
