515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />June 4, 1997 <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Kathy Glanzer, Administrative Assistant <br />RE: Commission Attendance Requirements <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morel= <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />The following are the results of a survey on commission attendance requirements: <br />Falcon Heights — This city's ordinance merely states "Failure to attend <br />meetings regularly shall be one basis for removal ". <br />Maplewood — Their ordinance does not contain an attendance requirement. <br />However, they do have a "Job Description" for the Parks & Recreation <br />Commission. This job description states "Attend and participate in <br />Regular monthly meeting and special meetings of the Commission ". <br />Roseville — No attendance policy. <br />Shoreview — Their ordinance states members shall endeavor to maintain an <br />annual attendance record for all regular meetings of at least 80% or miss <br />not more than three meetings. <br />Vadnais Heights — A commission member who is absent from three (3) <br />consecutive meetings or who is absent from four (4) or more meetings <br />in any calendar year, shall be considered to have constructively resigned <br />and that commissioner's position shall then be filled in the manner set <br />forth in the city code for such commission. <br />If the Council feels that an attendance policy should be adopted, it would be staff's <br />recommendation to consider one similar to that of Vadnais Heights. Staff further <br />recommends that such a policy be put in ordinance form and referred to both the Planning <br />Commission and the Parks & Recreation Commission for their comments. Once <br />comments are received from the Commissions, staff will schedule consideration by the <br />Council. <br />Page 50 <br />
