B. Discussion: Bethea: Need a specific motion with <br /> respect to Sec. 13-4 (i) . <br /> Motion No. 3/Count : Juvik: Motions that Sec. <br /> 13-4 (i) be adopted , as it was drafted by Mr. Yuen (see <br /> Exhibit C) . Poppe: Seconded the motion. All were in <br /> favor. Motion carried. <br /> C. Discussion: Bethea: Yuen recommended that either <br /> the chair report to the mayor if a commissioner missed <br /> three consecutive meetings or missed more than 50% of the <br /> meetings in a six-month period. Could also include that <br /> Council must take action to approve/reject nominees <br /> within 45 days. Juvik: Feels the mayor should know <br /> whether his/her appointees are attending meetings. <br /> Greenwell: Some commissions only meet quarterly and <br /> should be compelled to meet. Bethea: Questioned whether <br /> a further qualification should be added to Sec. 13-4 in <br /> the form of an additional subparagraph. Yuen: Yes . <br /> Bethea: Possible wording: "The chairman of each board <br /> or commission shall submit a report to the mayor when a <br /> commission member misses three consecutive meetings or <br /> 50% of the meetings in a six-month period. " <br /> Omonaka: Suggested amending paragraph (i) to <br /> include absenteeism. Bethea: Suggested it could go in <br /> (j ) also. L'Orange: Suggested it should be included in <br /> some section. Juvik: Feels there should be an annual <br /> report to the mayor. Cushnie: Agrees that a quarterly <br /> report should go to the mayor. Does not like the wording <br /> "three consecutive meetings" because maybe the commission <br /> only meets four times a year; but the commission has <br /> still wasted the whole year if members aren' t present to <br /> vote. Cushnie/Poppe: Prefers report to be submitted <br /> more often than only if three consecutive meetings are <br /> missed . <br /> Greenwell : Suggested including that each board or <br /> commission set up language to create rules to insure the <br /> attendance of members of their commission (Tape 1 : 1: 21) . <br /> Yuen: Suggested a report to the chair after every third <br /> scheduled meeting. L'Orange: Suggested reporting <br /> "chronic absenteeism" to mayor. Yuen: Commission needs <br /> a fixed rule to prevent prejudice. <br /> Motion No. 4/Count: L'Orange: Moved that the <br /> wording be that a report goes to the mayor "if three <br /> consecutive meetings are missed or 50% of the meetings in <br /> a six-month period _ " Juvik: Seconded. All were in <br /> .favor , with the exception of Mr . Omonaka, who opposed the <br /> motion. Motion carried. <br /> 774 <br />
