The last direction from Council was to solicit feedback from various boards about the <br /> Policy. <br /> Feedback was gathered from the Planning Commission,Parks and Recreation Commission,EDA,HRA, <br /> and Library Board. All commissions were in favor of removing special meetings from the attendance <br /> requirements. The Parks and Recreation Commission did discuss the elimination of special meetings from <br /> the requirements but ultimately voted to recommend completely eliminating the attendance policy. <br /> Staff would not recommend eliminating the attendance policy. There will be future occasional attendance <br /> issues and having a policy helps to outline the importance of attendance to members in their role serving <br /> on boards. It further helps the Council in making a decision on removing a member based on policy. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ May 7, 2018, staff report <br /> ■ May 21, 2018, staff report <br /> ■ May 7, 2018, excerpt of minutes <br /> ■ May 21, 2018, excerpt of minutes <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
