§ 30.07 VACANCY DUE TO UNEXCUSED ABSENCES.
   (A)   In addition to the events listed in Neb. RS 32-560 and any other reasons for a vacancy provided by law, after notice and a hearing, a vacancy on the Board of Trustees shall exist if a member is absent from more than five consecutive regular meetings of the Board unless the absences are excused by a majority vote of the remaining members.
(Neb. RS 19-3101)
   (B)   The Board shall take a vote on whether to excuse a member’s absence from a meeting upon either:
      (1)   A written request from the member submitted to the Village Clerk; or
      (2)   A motion of any other Board member.
   (C)   If a member has been absent from six consecutive regular meetings and none of the absences have been excused by a majority vote of the remaining members, the Clerk shall include this as an item on the agenda for the next regular meeting. At that meeting, the Board shall set a date for a hearing and direct the Clerk to give the member notice of the hearing by personal service or first-class mail to the member’s last known address.
   (D)   At the hearing, the Board member shall have the right to present information on why one or more of the absences should be excused. If the Board does not excuse one or more of the member’s absences by a majority vote at the conclusion of the hearing, there shall be a vacancy on the Board.
