A calendar year is to be defined as a 12- <br /> month period beginning on the date of appointment. <br /> If a board or commission has in their bylaws a policy which is more <br /> stringent than this policy, it may stand. For those boards and <br /> commissions without an attendance policy, this policy will prevail. <br /> The Clerk to the Board shall request all new appointees to certify <br /> that he/she understands the attendance policy. <br /> 8. The rate of pay, if any, to members for serving on boards and <br /> commissions shall be established by the Board of Commissioners in <br /> accordance with the General Statutes. Records for pay purposes shall <br /> be submitted by the appropriate department to the f inance Of f icer f or <br /> monthly disbursement. <br /> 9. Orientation training will be offered to all new appointees to the <br /> Boards and Commissions which are ongoing. This does not include <br /> those boards and commissions, task forces or committees of short <br /> duration. The orientation will be offered twice a year in September <br /> and March. Other training will be offered during the year. The <br /> purpose of this training is to supplement rather than replace any <br /> specific training needed for a person to serve on a particular board <br /> or commission. <br /> 10. Individuals who go off of a board or commission will be recognized <br /> at the annual Volunteer Recognition dinner. A person must serve at <br /> least one year to be recognized in this way.

Each board and commission may recognize its members as it <br /> deems appropriate. <br /> 11. The Board of Commissioners reserves the right, at any time and for <br /> any reason, to remove any member of any board or commission when a <br /> motion for removal receives the vote of a majority of the entire <br /> membership of the Board. <br /> This policy shall become effective April 6, 1992 . All subsequent appointments <br /> to boards and commissions by the Board of Commissioners shall be carried out <br /> under the provisions of this policy. <br />
