§ 2-92. Replacement of members for cause; attendance requirements.

(a)

For any ad-hoc or standing committee or board town council establishes, town council may discharge and replace any member, for good cause, including, but not limited to, poor attendance, lack of participation, disqualification, malfeasance and conflict of interest.

(b)

No member of any ad-hoc or standing committee or board shall continue to serve as a member after becoming a town council member and shall resign at the end of the next committee or board meeting following installation.

(c)

Unless otherwise denoted in this article or its cross-references, any member, of any ad-hoc or standing committee or board who fails to attend any three out of five previous regular meetings shall be considered to have resigned and may only be reinstated by action of the town council upon a written request approved by a majority of the remaining membership. If an ad-hoc or standing committee or board does not have regularly scheduled meetings, then all special meetings shall be considered regular meetings, for the purpose of computing attendance requirements pursuant to this section.

(d)

Ad-hoc or standing committees or boards may, by a majority vote of its members, authorize the absence of a member for sickness or for a personal leave of absence not to exceed three months, upon written application of said member and upon a showing of good cause or special circumstances. An authorized absence shall not count against a member for the purpose of computing attendance requirements pursuant to this section.
