BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Board of County Commissioners has established an attendance policy for individuals appointed as members to the various boards and committees established by the BOCC. The policy states in relevant parts that any member who fails, during any calendar year, to attend sixty-five (65%) of all regularly scheduled committee meetings from the time the appointee’s term begins until the end of that calendar year and each subsequent calendar year thereafter, shall be automatically removed from said board. There are no excused absences. Members cannot miss three (3) consecutive regularly scheduled committee meetings. The purpose of this agenda item is to revise the attendance Policy for the Board of Equalization and Review. The Chair of the BER is concerned that the County attendance policy doesn't work well for the BER. The BER has struggled with board members attendance this year which negatively impacts the Board's ability to conduct timely reviews. The Chair recommends slight revisions to the attendance policy as it pertains to the BER which are contained in the attached Resolution.
