Board Member. The posted announcements for the meeting must state that an

Section 7: Absences – As publicly elected officials, Board members are expected to
attend all Board meetings in order to fulfill their minimum duty to the public. Each
member shall be allowed to miss a total of three (3) meetings each year (or an
equivalent of one quarter (1/4) of all Board meetings), provided that no more than two
(2) of these absences (or an equivalent of one sixth (1/6) of all Board meetings) are
unexcused. In the case of an absence, a Board member must notify an Office of the
Board (President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer) twenty-four (24) hours prior to

will result in an unexcused absence. Any meeting of the Board, scheduled and noticed
as per the Brown Act, shall constitute a meeting for the purpose of determining Board
member attendance.
The Secretary will report the total absence count at each monthly meeting. Once a
Board member misses three (3) meetings (or an equivalent of one quarter (1/4) of all
Board meetings), or accrues two (2) unexcused absences (or an equivalent of one sixth
(1/6) of all Board meetings) during the term year (April to March), the President shall

Section 8: Censure – The Council can take action to publically reprimand a Board
member for violations of the Bylaws, and/or other actions conducted in the course of
Council business by censuring the Board member at a Council Board meeting.
Censures shall be placed on the agenda for discussion and action.
Section 9: Removal – The Council shall consult with the Office of the City Attorney
throughout any Board removal process. Board members may be removed in the
following ways:

office by the submission of a written petition to the Secretary, which

4. The Board member being removed must first have been
censured by the Board once for the same action before a Petition
by the Board for removal shall be considered by the Council.
If the vote for removal is affirmative, the position shall be deemed vacant
and filled via the Council’s vacancy clause.
Section 10: Resignation – A Board member may resign from the Council and the
position shall then be deemed vacant. Any member of the Board who ceases to be a
Stakeholder is required to submit his or her resignation to the Board for discussion and
