OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
MAKING AN AMENDMENT TO THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS MANUAL
WHEREAS, the City currently has several boards and commissions appointed by the City
Council; and
WHEREAS,the information pertaining to the duties,composition,membership limitations,
and responsibilities of the City's boards and commissions is contained in a Boards and Commissions
Manual (the "Manual"), maintained by the City Clerk, which Manual was adopted by the City
Council by Resolution 90-110 and subsequently amended by the City Council by Resolution 97-119
and Resolution 99-86; and
WHEREAS, the attendance policy contained in the Manual is ambiguous as to whether a
member's repeated absence from the meetings of a board or commission automatically creates a
vacancy on the board or commission; and
WHEREAS, the Council believes that it would be in the City's best interest to amend the
attendance policy so as to clarify that the specified number of absences does automatically create a
vacancy on the board or commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT,
COLLINS that the "Attendance Policy" subsection of the Boards and Commissions Manual of the
City of Fort Collins is hereby amended to read as follows:
Attendance Policy
Upon application for and acceptance of appointment, board and commission
members demonstrate their intention and ability to attend meetings. If a member
experiences recurring attendance problems, the chairperson of the board or
commission should contact the Boards and Commissions Coordinator located in the
City Clerk's Office,so that he or she can work with the Council liaison to the affected
board or commission to address the issue. Either of the following shall automatically
cause a member's appointment to be terminated, and shall create a vacancy on the
board or commission:
Three consecutive absences from regularly scheduled meetings of the
board, if no written notification of any such absence has been
submitted to the chairperson or staff liaison prior to the meetings
where the absences occurred.
Four absences, without prior written notification to the chairperson
or staff liaison, from regularly scheduled meetings of the board in
any calendar year.
In the event that a vacancy occurs by reason of this policy, the chairperson of the
affected board of commission shall immediately notify the Boards and Commissions
Coordinator, so that the vacancy can be filled by the Council.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Fort Collins held this
6th day of June, A.D. 2000.
