Title
Consider excusing the absence of Board Members from the August 20, 2020 meeting; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Adhering to the new Attendance Policy under the Ethics Policy City Council has adopted, the Parks and Recreation Board shall decide by vote at this meeting whether Marc Traynor and Margaret Young’s (Emeritus) absence from the August 20, 2020 meeting was for good cause or not.
As a matter of practice, the Board has excused the absence of a Board member when a member has a pre-noticed excusable absence. By excusing the absence, the Board member is not penalized with using one of three unexcused absences allowed in the Charter.
ACTIONS:
1) Motion to approve the excused absence of Board members Marc Traynor and Margaret Young (Emeritus) from the August 20, 2020 meeting.
2) Motion to deny approval of the excused absence of Board members Marc Traynor and Margaret Young (Emeritus).
3) Motion to modify to meet the needs of the Board.
4) Motion to table the issue for further study or take no action.
