Members of the boards and commissions serve at the pleasure of the City Council. If properly noticed on the public portion of a City Council agenda, any member of a board or commission may be removed from office by majority vote of the City Council.

No member of a board or commission may have more than three consecutive absences, nor miss 20% or more of regularly-scheduled meetings during any rolling 12-month period (except the Administrative Appeals Board). A person in violation of these standards may apply to the Mayor for relief from these requirements based on unusual or extenuating circumstances.

(B) The secretary or clerk of each board or commission shall monthly prepare and deliver to the City Clerk an attendance report of members.
