Report
DISCUSSION
The semi-annual report of all City boards and commissions shows the attendance of each member at both regular and special meetings. The report shows attendance for July to December 2023 and for the past 12 months as required by Council Policy 7.2.19, 2.H.(II).
The next attendance report will be provided to Council in August 2024, for the period of January to July 2024.
EXISTING POLICY
Council Policy 7.2.19, 2.G.(II): Council shall take into consideration board and commission member attendance records, including tardiness, when evaluating the overall performance of board and commission members. Unexcused absences from three consecutive regularly scheduled meetings, or from more than 25% of all regularly scheduled meetings over any consecutive 12-month period, shall result in that member's seat being declared vacant by the City Clerk. The percent of regularly scheduled meetings attended shall only be shown for board and commission members having been in office at least six months.
City Charter Section 1005: If a member of a board or commission has three consecutive absences from regularly scheduled meetings, unless by permission of the board or commission expressed in its minutes, the Council will declare the member's seat vacant.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council meeting agenda on the City's official-notice bulletin board at City Hall, at the Sunnyvale Public Library and in the Department of Public Safety Lobby. In addition, the agenda and this report are available at the NOVA Workforce Services reception desk located on the first floor of City Hall at 456 W. Olive Avenue (during normal business hours), and on the City's website.
