Any member of a City board or commission who is appointed by the Mayor and who, during any period of 12 consecutive months, fails to attend 50% or more of the meetings of the board or commission is considered to have resigned. The chairman of the board or commission shall forward the member’s name to the Mayor as soon as practicable following a 12-month period of deficient attendance, together with a statement of the frequency and extent of the non-attendance. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, the Mayor shall appoint a successor for the remainder of the term. If the reasons for a member’s failure to attend meetings are satisfactory to the Mayor and are made public, the Mayor may waive the resignation.
