EXPLANATION: Proposed amendment to Section 2-292(b) of Chapter 2, Article VI of the Wellington Code of Ordinances.
This proposed amendment relates to the removal of board and committee members for reasons other than absenteeism and failure to maintain the requirements for being a board member. The Council previously adopted Ordinance No. 2011-10 which, in part, established the procedure for removal of board and committee members for reasons other than absenteeism by a majority vote of the Council. Council has requested that this section of the Code be amended to permit the council member who appointed the board or committee member to remove the member without cause and without a vote of the Council.
