At the same meeting a request was made to return to Council to <br />provide the opportunity to take possible action on appointments and/or removals. The Roster of <br />Current Vacancies and Expired Terms along with the Biannual Attendance Report are provided <br />as attachments. <br />With the exception of the members serving on the Personnel Board, the City Council has the <br />ability by majority vote to appoint or remove any serving commission member. In addition, there <br />is past practice for the removal of members on specific commissions that have exceeded a pre- <br />established number of unexcused absences. Specifically, the City Council may remove board or <br />commission members who incur four (4) unexcused absences within the six-month reporting <br />period for the Youth Commission. The City Council may also remove board or commission <br />members who incur two (2) unexcused absences within the six-month reporting period for the <br />Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission, Environmental and Transportation <br />Advisory Committee, and Santa Ana 2018 Measure X Citizen Oversight Committee. <br />Examination of the attendance report reveals that only two appointees have exceeded the <br />respective attendance requirements, alternate member Alecc Banda and associate member <br />Brenda Medel on the Youth Commission have exceeded the limits for permitted absences. <br />65A-1 <br />
