(A) If a vacancy shall occur otherwise than by expiration of a term, the Council will subsequently appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of the unexpired term.
(B) Meeting attendance.
(1) Absences caused by illness, injury, death, bereavement, personal emergency, or other similar situations shall be recognized as an excused absence. Excused absences are generally defined as medical or family emergencies or unavoidable business/personal conflicts.
(2) Any member who is absent from more than 25% of regular meetings or accumulates two consecutive unexcused absences within a fiscal year (beginning July 1) shall be replaced.
(3) In the event of long-term absence due to illness, medical procedure, injury, or other extenuating significant personal circumstance, the Board may deem it necessary and appropriate to grant a leave of absence until the affected Board member is able to return. Absences accrued during an approved leave of absence period shall not be subject to the provisions stated above.
(C) The Town Council may remove a member as deemed necessary. Any vacancies occurring on the Tree Board will be filled by the Council for the unexpired term.
