Pursuant to Council policy, the City Council may remove board or commission members who incur four (4) unexcused absences within the six-month reporting period. Also, Charter Section 901(c) provides that a member of a board or commission who absents him/herself from two (2) regular meetings of such board or commission, consecutively, unless by permission of such board or commission expressed in its official minutes, or fails to attend at least one-half ('/2) of the regular meetings of such board or commission within a calendar year, the office shall become vacant and shall be so declared by the City Council.
