Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 61G15-18.0071 - Attendance at Board Meetings, Unexcused Absences
(1) Board members shall attend all regularly
scheduled Board meetings unless prevented from doing so by reason of court
order, subpoena, business with a court which has the sole prerogative of
setting the date of such business, conflict with other scheduled business of
the Board, conflicting business previously authorized by the Board, death of
family member, illness of the Board member, hospitalization of the member's
immediate family, unavoidable travel delays or cancellations, or other
extraordinary circumstances as approved by the Board.
(2) Three consecutive unexcused absences or
absences constituting 50 percent or more of the board's meetings within any
12-month period shall cause the board membership of the member in question to
become void, and the position shall be considered vacant. No Board member may
be absent from three consecutive regularly scheduled Board meetings unless the
absence is excused for one of the reasons stated in subsection (1) of this
rule. An absence for any reason other than the reasons stated in subsection (1)
constitutes an unexcused absence for the purpose of declaring a vacancy of the
Board. An otherwise excused absence is not excused if the Board member fails to
notify the Board's Administrator and Chairperson of the impending absence 48
hours prior to the regularly scheduled Board meeting at which the absence will
occur or unless the failure to notify the Board's Administrator and Chairperson
is the result of circumstances surrounding the reason for the absence which the
Board itself excuses after the absence has occurred. The reason for the absence
from a meeting shall be made part of the minutes of that meeting.
(3) "Family" consists of immediate family,
nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.
(4) "Immediate family" consists of spouse,
child, parents, parents-in-law, siblings, grandchildren, and
grandparents.
