TITLE
Boards, Commissions, and Committees Mid-Year Attendance Report; CEQA Status - Not a
Project
RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational report, no action is recommended.
BACKGROUND
The Boards, Commissions, and Committees (BCC) Handbook specifies that a compilation of
attendance will be submitted to the City Clerk and presented to City Council at least annually
listing absences for all members. Regular attendance by all members is essential to ensure
collaborative and efficient public participation. The Handbook places an emphasis on the
significance of consistent attendance and outlines the policies surrounding absences. Members
are expected to make every effort to attend all scheduled meetings. Should a member be
absent from more than one-third of the BCC meetings within a calendar year, their absences
will be reported to the City Council, which could result in a removal.
ANALYSIS
The attachments reflect the numbers of absences, remote attendance, and total of meetings
attended since the appointed term. Commissioners who joined mid-term or finished their
terms before the end of calendar year 2025 are indicated with an “X.” The purpose of this is a
Mid-Year Attendance Report is to maintain transparency and determine if BCC members are
adhering to attendance requirements.
