Each council member is expected to attend every regular or special meeting of each standing or special committee to which they are appointed, unless they have notified all council members and staff of a pending absence following the procedure listed in rule 1.103. Every council member may attend any meeting of any committee of which they are not a member and participate in discussion and offer comment, but may vote only: when their attendance is necessary to constitute a quorum. However, any time a noncommittee member is counted as part of the quorum for a committee meeting, they shall be permitted to vote, make motions and otherwise actively participate during the remainder of that meeting notwithstanding the subsequent arrival of a committee member or members.
