DISCUSSION
The Boards and Commissions Attendance Report is prepared biannually to inform the City Council regarding member attendance at board and commission meetings. This report covers the period of July through December 2024.
Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-326(c), if a member of a board or commission absents themselves from two regular meetings of such board or commission, consecutively, unless by permission of such board or commission expressed in its official minutes, or fails to attend at least one-half of the regular meetings of such board or commission within a calendar year, or is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, or ceases to be a resident of the City, the office shall become vacant and shall be so declared by the City Council.
Should the City Council find that any member of a board or commission meets the above noted absence thresholds, City Council may declare such vacancy and remove the board or commission member from their appointment. Any such vacancy would then be subject to appointment to fill the unexpired portion of the existing term, pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2- 326(b) and following the required noticing procedures of Government Code Section 54974(a).
