TITLE

RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational report, no action is recommended.

BACKGROUND
The Boards, Commissions, and Committees (BCC) Handbook specifies that a compilation of attendance will be submitted to the City Clerk and presented to City Council at least annually listing absences for all members. Regular attendance by all members is essential to ensure collaborative and efficient public participation. The Handbook places an emphasis on the significance of consistent attendance and outlines the policies surrounding absences. Members are expected to make every effort to attend all scheduled meetings. Should a member be absent from more than one-third of the BCC meetings within a calendar year, their absences will be reported to the City Council, which could result in a removal.

ANALYSIS
The attachments reflect the numbers of absences, remote attendance, and total of meetings attended since the appointed term. Commissioners who joined mid-term or finished their terms before the end of calendar year 2025 are indicated with an “X.” The purpose of this is a Mid-Year Attendance Report is to maintain transparency and determine if BCC members are adhering to attendance requirements.
