NO. 13,554 ON ATTENDANCE POLICY FOR BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1. That Section 3 of Ordinance No. 13,554 of the
City of Little Rock is hereby amended to read as follows:
"That when a member of a board or commission
has missed more than 25% of all regular
meetings of that particular board or commis-
sion in one calendar year or more than 3
consecutive regularly scheduled meetings,
then such person is automatically removed
from such position unless, prior to the next
scheduled meeting of the City Board of
Directors, the member submits in writing
his desire to remain on the Board or
Commission, then the City Board of Directors,
by a majority vote, shall allow the member
to continue to serve. Provided, any Board
or Commission of the City of Little Rock,
except the Civil Service Commission, Planning
Commission and Board of Adjustment, each of
which hears regularly scheduled petitions
from the public, may submit its own attendance
policy in writing to the City Board of
Directors. If the City Board approves the
policy by a majority vote, that Board or
Commission shall then be exempted from the
provisions of this ordinance."
SECTION 2. That due to the irregular attendance by
members of some boards and commissions, such boards and commissions
are unable to function properly, thus the health and welfare of
the citizens are being endangered; now, therefore, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this ordinance being necessary for the
preservation of public peace, health and safety shall be in full
force and effect from and after its passage and approval.
