Board members who miss three meetings may be removed; South Miami staff to notify clerk for replacements
Summary
Board members and staff discussed that members who miss three consecutive meetings can be removed under city code; participants asked the city clerk to pursue new appointments and encouraged nominations of engineers, architects and planners.
Board members and staff raised concerns about persistent absences and said they would notify the city clerk and the appointing authorities to fill vacancies.
A staff participant summarized the city rule on attendance: "if anyone misses 3 meetings in a row, they are automatically removed from the board," and participants said they had not seen some members for three meetings. Attendees asked the clerk to seek new appointments and to notify those members who had been unresponsive.
One participant urged recruitment of new appointees with technical backgrounds, saying the board should consider engineers, architects and planners as candidates and submit recommendations to the city clerk's office for formal appointment by the commission.
Lourdes confirmed the administrative process: applicants apply through the city clerk's office and the commission makes appointments; the board will be notified after appointments are made.
Participants said staff would follow up before the next meeting to clarify the membership roster and confirm which members remain active and eligible to participate.
