" . . . Mr. Williams requested clarification of what constitutes a regular meeting. Comm Assistant City Attorney Stan Long replied that a regular meeting is the 6/30/76 first meeting of the month, the second meeting being an adjourned one. File A person attending an adjourned meeting is deemed to have attended for that month. Mr. Williams suggested that, if the council were to define the second and fourth Mondays as regular meeting times, an individual's office would be declared vacant if he or she missed the two meetings in one month. Mrs. Beal wondered why the Mayor may be granted a longer leave than a council member. Mr. Long thought one reason might be that the Mayor does not vote regular1y. - It was council consensus that Section 23 should provide that the maximum allowable leave granted shou.Zd be 90 days for both Mayor and Council members. Assistant City Attorney Orval Etter pointed out that absence from two consecutive meetings vacates a council member's office but that provision does not apply to the Mayor. - After discussion, it was Council consensus that the wording in Section 23 shou1d read that the office of Mayor becomes vacant whenever its incumbent is absent from the c_ity for a period of 30 days. 7/12/76 - 8 353
