89 <br /> Additionally, questions have arisen from volunteers about how the policy is interpreted and whether the <br /> twelve (12) month period mentioned in the policy should be modified to account for boards that do not meet <br /> monthly or when there are cancelled meetings. Volunteers have also asked if excused absences could be <br /> added to the Advisory Board Policy. <br /> With these questions in mind, the Clerk's Office suggests amending Section III(H)(3)(b) to read: <br /> b. "Missing twenty-five percent (25%) of the last 12 meetings." <br /> The Clerk's Office requests clarification from the Board on the following points: <br /> 1. Should an opportunity be given to members who have violated the attendance requirements in <br /> the Advisory Board Policy to continue, or should the Clerk's Office simply inform them they will be <br /> removed? <br /> 2. Should provisions be added to the Advisory Board Policy that speak to the expected engagement <br /> of members as a requirement for continued service in addition to the attendance expectations? <br /> 3. Should there be language added to the Advisory Board Policy that defines and allows for excused <br /> absences that would not count against a member? <br /> Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. <br />
