Neglect of <br /> duty and nonparticipation are defined as follows: <br /> a. Missing three (3) consecutive meetings; or <br /> b. Missing twenty-five percent (25%) of meetings within any twelve <br /> (12) month period." <br /> There were no questions or comments asked by the BOH members. <br /> VII.
