D. The Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, shall appoint a sufficient number <br />of persons to fill the positions of those whose terms have expired. Members will be <br />actively recruited by, but not limited to, advertisements in the local newspaper. <br />E. The Library Services Coordinator and the Patron Services Supervisor from the Great <br />River Regional Library will serve as ex -officio members. <br />F. A member of the City Council can serve as a voting member of the Elk River <br />Library Board or can serve as a non-voting Council Liaison to the Board. <br />G. Not more than one Library Board member shall at any time be a member of the City <br />Council. <br />H. Library Board members shall receive no compensation for their services but may be <br />reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the discharge of Library <br />Board duties and activities. <br />Article VI Vacancies, Attendance, Disqualifications <br />A. The Library Board Chair shall report vacancies in the Library Board to the City <br />Council, which shall fill the vacancies by appointment for the remainder of the term. <br />B. A member shall be expected to maintain a suitable attendance record. Attendance is <br />vital to board service and City Council expectations. Because attendance is <br />important, the City Council has adopted the following attendance policy: <br />Members shall be automatically removed for lack of attendance. Lack of <br />attendance is defined as: <br />Regularly scheduled monthly commissions — missing three (3) <br />meetings (including regular and special meetings) scheduled during a <br />calendar year. <br />All other commissions — missing two (2) meetings (including regular <br />and special meetings) scheduled during a calendar year. <br />Participation for less than three-fourths of a meeting shall be the same as a <br />failure to attend a meeting. Members removed pursuant to this paragraph <br />shall not continue to serve on the board and such removal shall create a <br />vacancy. A member may appeal the termination by requesting a hearing <br />before the City Council within 10 days of notice of termination. <br />A standard commission attendance form shall be used by all commissions for <br />the staff liaison to record attendance. The Office of the City Clerk shall <br />forward the attendance record to the City Council at the end of each June <br />Page 2of5 <br />
