Policy E5 Directors Attendance at Board Meetings

Policy No. E-5

CENTRAL COAST REGIONAL DISTRICT



Policy: Directors Attendance at Board Meetings

Preamble: The present Board consists of only 5 directors.  Directors are absent for reasons of transportation, out-of-are work or other reasons.  A missing director at any Board meeting diminishes public representation and the quality of decision-making.

Policy: That all directors undertake to ensure quality representation from their electoral area.  In the event that the director cannot attend, as much advance notice as possible should be given so that the alternate director may attend.  Details such as making available to the alternate the agenda, familiarization of the key agenda items related to the electoral area are important to communicate to the director.  In the event the alternate is not able to attend, the director should discuss the key agenda items either with the Chairperson or the Administrator in advance of the meeting.
