PROPOSAL TO SET A POLICY CONCERNING ATTENDANCE AND
PARTICIPATION IN BOARD ACTIVITIES BY APPOINTED
BOARD MEMBERS. Councilwoman Stofik.
Mrs. Stofik discussed the possibility of Council estab-
lishing guidelines to govern participation and attendance of
members appointed to various Boards.
Mayor Kirby stated she would like to see better criteria
established to determine what qualifications were needed by appli-
cants to be appointed to a particular Board.
Dr. Butler elaborated on the possibility of setting some
type of attendance policy. He suggested that no member of any Board
should miss more than three consecutive times without an appropriate
excuse.
A general concensus was reached by Council to have the
Village Manager draft a letter to each Board Chairman explaining
that Council was concerned about Board members attendance and
participation. The letter would advise the Chairman of each Board
to contact the Village Manager to resolve these types of problems
if they occur.
In the future, when Board vacancies occur, an announcement
will be made in the Village Hall Newsletter that explains the function
of the particular Board and the responsibilities of its members.
BUDGET PREPARATION DISCUSSION. Village Manager.
Mr. Forney explained to Council that it was now time to
begin preparing for the 1986-1987 fiscal year budget. He requested
each Council member to develop a list of their priorities to be
considered in formulating the budget.
