Here's language based on discussion at the CC meeting, and other county bylaws: A member will be automatically removed from the Council in the event that the member: a) Moves out of the county; or b) Registers with another political party or Decline to State; or c) Is absent from at least three out of any six consecutive regularly scheduled County Council meetings, without being excused by the CC. Absences may be excused by the CC (business decision) in advance of a scheduled absence or at the next CC meeting following an absence. Note that this language places an additional restriction on registered voters (b), but does not prevent us from appointing CC members who can't register to vote.
