Health Advisory Council seeks bylaw change to allow removal recommendations for high absence
Summary
The Health Advisory Council asked the committee to add a bylaw provision allowing the HAC to recommend removal of members who miss two or more meetings; the committee forwarded the change to the full board.
The Health Advisory Council (HAC) requested a bylaw clarification on Oct. 23 to permit the HAC to recommend that a member be removed after two or more unexcused absences. The committee discussed timelines, meeting frequency (generally monthly), terms (about two years) and due‑process safeguards (written notice and opportunity to be heard before removal).
A committee member read the proposed insertion that would allow the HAC to recommend removal to the board and require written notice and the opportunity to be heard. Committee members asked about meeting cadence and mitigation for legitimate absences; presenters confirmed the provision would allow for mitigating circumstances.
Outcome: The committee approved moving the HAC bylaw update to the full board for approval.
