Subject
Excuse for Absences
Recommendation
Excuse the absences of Council Member Crystal Larios from Regular Council Meetings held on April 15, 2025 and May 6, 2025.
Background
Article III of the Vernon City Charter defines the composition, powers, responsibilities, and eligibility of the City Council. Specifically, Chapter 3.8 of the Charter establishes the grounds for forfeiture of a Council Member’s office such as the “absence from three consecutive regular meetings of the Council without permission of, or excuse by, the Council, for absence from at least one of those meetings expressed in its official minutes.” Council Member Larios was absent from the April 15, 2025 Regular Council Meeting and will miss the May 6, 2025 Regular Council Meeting due to mandatory employer-required training for her occupation on both dates. Council Member Larios notified staff of these absences and has requested that they be deemed excused. This item is being presented to the Council for consideration of excusing these absences pursuant to Chapter 3.8 of the City Charter.
