Board Absences
Motion: Board absences should be voted on by board at each meeting as to
whether they,are excused or unexcused. (City Attorney opinion)
Discussion: All five board members are needed at each meeting. Very difficult to
carry out the responsibilities of the library board if all members are not
participating on a regular basis
By laws state. that 3 unexcused absences constitute removal from the board.
