Additionally, City Charter Section 901 <br />provides that three consecutive unexcused absences would result in the vacancy of a board or <br />commission seat. <br />Examination of attendance reports revealed that the Youth Commission has not been able to establish a <br />quorum in the past 6 months. Staff is currently reviewing the role and responsibilities of said <br />commission and will bring back recommendations for Council consideration in the near future that will <br />better meet the goals and objectives of said the Youth Commission and the City Council alike. <br />Also, two members of the Workforce Investment Board had four consecutive unexcused absences for <br />the period March, 2014 through September, 2014. Therefore, per Council policy, the seats should be <br />declared vacant. <br />13D -1 <br />
