MEMO TO:
FROM: Mayor and City Counci
DATE: July 17, 1992
SUBJECT: Alternates' Attendance at Board Meetings
All Alternate Board Members
It has come to the attention of the City Council that alternate
Board members appointed to City Boards may not have been advised,
upon appointment, what is expected of them in their positions as
alternates. This memo will serve as a policy statement of the City
Council of the City of Cape Canaveral regarding alternate's
attendance at Board meetings.
The City Council discussed at its Workshop Meeting held on July 2,
1992, the importance of alternate Board members attending Board
meetings with the same regularity as regular Board members. All
Board members, including regular and alternate members, are sent
agenda packets prior to each scheduled Board meeting. Alternates
need to attend as many Board meetings as possible in order to
become familiar with specific issues addressed by their particular
Board.
Alternates need to be aware of Board procedures and policies
previously set by the Board in order to make knowledgeable and
accurate decisions when called upon to fill in for a regular Board
member. Therefore, it is a policy of the City Council that any
alternate Board member who shall miss more than three (3)
consecutive meetings without prior notice to the Board chairperson
or Secretary to the Board shall be removed from the Board upon
approval of the City Council.
