CM Boylan explained the intent of the bill. There was lengthy discussion on this item related to

enforcement, the "part-time" nature of the CM position, absences from meetings in contrast to missing

votes during meetings. CM Freeman asked about attendance, and CMs taking "walks" during meetings,

and he talked about the quorum requirements for standing committees outlined in this bill.

Motion/2nd )Freeman/Boylan) on amendment to adjust the rules for quorum so that in the event there

are two excused absences for a standing committee meeting, the quorum shall be reduced to four

members for that meeting. Approved unanimously.

meetings of a standing committee (instead of three consecutive meetings) or three consecutive

committee (instead of automatic withdrawal upon recommendation by the chair to the

- Add provision that each committee chair will announce how they intend to address absences
