AUTHORITY
Article VII, Sections 700, 702, and 702.1 of the Merced City Charter, and the Appointed Commission, Committee and Board Member Attendance Policy adopted by the City Council on October 3, 1994 (amended on July 15, 1996, August 4, 1997, July 16, 2001, and August 20, 2007).
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to the City’s Attendance Policy (attached), the annual review has been conducted and filed with the City Clerk’s Office. Where possible, the respective attendance reports have been presented to each board, committee, and commission, who subsequently reviewed and approved the reports as accurate.
The attached attendance reports indicate whether the commissioner, committee member, or board member was in attendance, informed staff that they would be absent for a reason consistent with the Attendance Policy ("excused"), or did not show and did not notify staff ("absent"). The City Council, under Section 7 of the Policy, “may” remove those commissioners, committee members, or board members who do not meet the 70% attendance requirement.
Overall, there has been good attendance during the reporting period (April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019), with the majority of Board and Commission members meeting the minimum attendance requirement.
