FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact for this item. DISCUSSION It has been reported that Commissioner Hadden has missed more than three Commission meetings within the past 12 months. These absences were reported to be unexcused. Following a request to this office, the office presents this report to provide the Commission the opportunity to consider whether to recommend removal from the Commission. Antioch Municipal Code section 4-3.104 allows the Commission to recommend the removal of a commissioner who, among other grounds, has “[t]hree unexcused absences from at least three meetings in a one-year span of time.” (Antioch Mun. Code sec. 4- 3.104(D)(4).) It is within the Commission’s discretion to make this recommendation. This office makes no recommendation for or against the proposed action. If the Commission votes to recommend removal, this recommendation will be presented to the City Council for its consideration and potential action. The Council would consider the recommendation under Antioch Municipal Code section 2-5.205. Removal would ultimately be within the Council’s discretion and would require a majority vote of the Council.
