For the edits regarding the attendance policy in Section 17, please consider whether the <br />requirements apply to all meetings or only regularly scheduled meetings. Consider as well whether <br />an excuse must be obtained prior to the absence. This is likely impractical since most often Council <br />Members do not have 2 to 3 weeks' notice that they will need to be absent at the next meeting, as <br />most absences are for illness or emergency. Bear in mind as well that in the event a Council <br />Member requests an excused absence, granting of the excused absence will require council action. <br />BUDGET: Simply choosing the proposed amendments has no budget implications. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Consider and discuss changes to the language in sections 17 and 149, <br />and approve final language to the proposed amendments. Council will need to do this at this <br />meeting so that the legal department can draft the ordinance calling a May 7, 2022 election at the <br />February 14, 2022 meeting. <br />
