members are looking for:

• Decision-making ability
• Commitment to the position for which they have applied

for a particular board, commission or committee, the City Council

vacancy without the need for further City Council action.

The commissioner misses more than 25% of the scheduled meetings in a calendar year2. The commissioner misses more than 3 scheduled consecutive meetingsIt is the staff liaison’s responsibility to notify the City Clerk promptly so a written warning can be issued before either of these events occur, or a termination notice if necessary. Please note, there are no exceptions, and there are no “excused absences.”Please update your commission’s attendance roster immediately after each meeting, or at the end of each month, whichever comes first.
