February 3, 2006 <br />Mr. Christopher Riley <br />15120 Ute Street NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />ncerel <br />nna Reed <br />Human Resources Manager <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW • Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br />City Hall: (763) 427 -1410 • Fax: (763) 427 -5543 <br />www.ci.ramsey.mn.us <br />RE: City of Ramsey Attendance Policy for Board and Commission Members <br />Dear Mr. Riley: <br />A recent review of board and commission attendance records indicates that during 2005 there were <br />board and commission members who missed three regularly scheduled meetings in a six month <br />period. This is technically a violation of the City's Attendance Policy for Board and Commission <br />Members. <br />The City Council asked that I contact board and commission chairpersons to request that you discuss <br />the specifics of the attendance policy with commissioners who are having difficulty attending <br />regularly scheduled meetings. The City's attendance policy is as follows: <br />The absence of a Board or Commission member from three or more regularly <br />scheduled meetings of his /her board or commission within any six (6) month period <br />shall be cause for removal of that member from his or her seat on the board or <br />commission. The City Council shall have the authority to remove board or commission <br />members for violation of this policy. <br />Although the City Council has decided not to remove commissioners who have not met attendance <br />requirements during 2005, in future years the City Council may decide to fully enforce the <br />attendance policy. Please discuss the importance of regular attendance with commissioners as a <br />group or one -on -one, as you deem appropriate. <br />If you have any questions, or if the City can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact <br />me or the City Administrator, Mr. Jim Norman. <br />
