Committee elects chair and vice chair; council to tighten attendance rules for boards and commissions
Summary
The committee re-elected Doug as chair and elected Cameron as vice chair. Members also reported council appointments to the committee and said council intends to more strictly enforce attendance rules for boards and commissions, potentially using automatic removal for consecutive absences and not permitting remote participation.
The Clemson downtown advisory committee elected officers for the year: a motion to nominate Doug for chair carried by voice vote; Cameron was nominated and confirmed as vice chair.
Committee members reported two recent appointments: John Shaughnessy, owner of Mojo, was appointed to the committee (replacing a prior seat), and Mr. Duckworth was appointed to fill a resident seat vacated by Anna Duke. Committee members said council will begin more strictly tracking attendance for boards and commissions and may adopt rules that automatically remove members who miss consecutive meetings. The committee also reported that remote participation will not be permitted going forward, because staff said the technical support burden is too great.
A motion to approve the October minutes was made and recorded as carried with “All in favor.” No recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
Ending: Staff said they will circulate appointment and attendance policy changes and that the committee will continue to enforce attendance expectations so boards can maintain quorums and advance recommendations to council.
