Subject: Discussion and Direction Regarding the Removal of Members from the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board for Non-attendance
Background Summary:
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board had a quorum only one time in the last eight months. Section 15-
4(E) of the Code of Ordinances states that "Failure to attend more than two regularly scheduled consecutive
meetings without an authorized absence shall be grounds for automatic removal from the board".
Issue:
Should the Mayor and Commission remove members of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for non-
attendance?
Recommendations
Staff recommends the positions of Joseph Hembree, Robert McKey, and Phyllis Neal-Wilson be considered for
removal from the board for missing six or more of the last twelve meetings of the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board.
